Phanerodon vacca

Description

Phanerodon vacca (Girard, 1855).

Pile Perch. To 44.2 cm (17.4 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Southern British Columbia (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Bahía Playa Maria (28°52’N, 114°30’W) (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California) on mainland, and Isla Guadalupe, central Baja California (Miller and Lea 1972), and Isla de Cedros and Isla Natividad (Ramírez-Valdez et al. 2015). A reported occurrence from Wrangell, south-eastern Alaska lacks documentation (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Depth: intertidal to 132 m (433 ft) (min.: Chotkowski 1994; max.: DFO); reported to 210 m (690 ft) (Love et al. 2005), but apparently without documentation. Recently as Rhacochilus vacca (Girard, 1854) and Damalichthys vacca Girard, 1854. We follow the genetic studies of Longo and Bernardi (2015) and Longo et al. (2018) and place this species in the genus Phanerodon.
