Pleuronichthys ritteri Starks & Morris 1907

Description

Pleuronichthys ritteri Starks & Morris, 1907.

Spotted Turbot or Catalina Sanddab. To 32 cm (11 in) SL, about 38 cm (15 in) TL (City of San Diego 2020). Morro Bay (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California; confirmed by Robert Lea and Richard Feeney), central California to southern Baja California (24°12’N, 111°21’W) (Cabrera Mancilla et al. 1988); also reported from the upper Gulf of California (Grijalva-Chon et al. 1996). A catch further north, near San Francisco (37°54.6’N) (NWFSC-FRAM), is without a voucher specimen or other documentation. Benthic; depth: 1–219 m (3–718 ft) (min.: Sommer in Fischer et al. 1995; max.: Bradburn et al. 2011). A previous record from northern California records (37°55’N) (Weinberg et al. 2002) was determined to be an incorrectly identified Pleuronichthys verticalis Jordan & Gilbert, 1880, by Richard Feeney and Jame Orr (Richard Feeney, pers. comm. to M.L.).
