Porichthys notatus Girard 1854
Description
Porichthys notatus Girard, 1854.
Plainfin Midshipman. To 46 cm (18.1 in) SL (Williams et al. 2014). Smith Sound, southern British Columbia (Pietsch and Orr 2019) to southern Baja California (about 24°12’N, 111°21’W) (Cabrera Mancilla et al. 1988). Depth: intertidal to 464 m (1,522 ft) (min.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983; max.: Bradburn et al. 2011). Records south of Baja California and into the Gulf of California are misidentifications (Allen and Smith 1988); P. notatus is replaced by Porichthys mimeticus in the Gulf of California (Walker and Rosenblatt 1988). Although reported from Sitka, south-eastern Alaska, no one has been able to confirm an Alaskan record; see discussion by Mecklenburg et al. (2002).
