Speckled Sanddab. To 19.2 cm (7.6 in) TL (Gotshall et al. 1980). Seward, northern Gulf of Alaska (Johnson et al. 2012) to Bahía Magdalena, southern Baja California (Miller and Lea 1972); Bahía Concepcion, Gulf of California (Galván-Magaña et al. 2000). Larvae have been collected as far west in the Gulf of Alaska as south of Kodiak Island (Matarese et al. 2003). Also reported Ecuador (Béarez 1996) to Puerto Pizarro, Peru (Chirichigno and Vélez 1998). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 366 m (1,200 ft) (min.: Hart 1973; max.: Kramer et al. 1995). A 21.5 cm (8.5 in) SL specimen (Personal communication: University of Washington, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture Fish Collection, Seattle, Washington), listed as C. stigmaeus, has been reidentified as Citharichthys sordidus (Girard, 1854) (Katherine Maslenikov).
