Branick’s Grunt or Sand Grun t. To 31.5 cm (12.4 in) TL (Rodríguez-Romero et al. 2008). North of Boca Soledad (25°19’N, 112°06’W), southern Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) to Paita, Peru (Chirichigno 1974), including Gulf of California (Castro-Aguirre et al. 1999). Bays, estuaries and river mouths (Allen and Robertson 1994); depth: 0–165 m (541 ft) (min.: Robertson and Allen 2002; max.: Robertson et al. 2017). We follow Tavera et al.
