Sebastes atrovirens

Description

Sebastes atrovirens (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880).

Kelp Rockfish. To 48.3 cm (19 in) TL (Rodríguez-Santiago 2021). Fort Bragg, northern California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Bahía San Carlos (29°36’N, 115°12’W) (Phillips 1957), and Islas de Cedros and San Benito (28°19’N, 115°35’W) (Ramírez-Valdez et al. 2015), central Baja California. Benthic; depth: surface (nightlight; Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), 3–144 m (10–472 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: NWFSC-FRAM). This species was reportedly taken in 190–300 m (623–984 ft) by Snytko (1986). However, this is much deeper than any other records and we are somewhat sceptical of its validity.
