Pleuronichthys guttulatus Girard 1856
Description
Pleuronichthys guttulatus Girard, 1856.
Diamond Turbot. To 45.7 cm (18 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Cape Mendocino, northern California (Miller and Lea 1972) to Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2015). Benthic; depth: surface (nightlight; Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), intertidal to 46 m (150 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: Miller and Lea 1972). We note that there is a much deeper record of 91 m (298 ft) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), however this specimen was not retained and thus we are unable to confirm. Recently as Hypsopsetta guttulata.
