). Benthic; depth: intertidal to
6 m

) or more (min.:
Bolin 1944
; max.:
Burge and Schultz 1973
). We also note that there is a considerably deeper record of
155 m
(
508 ft
) (DFO) from the “2006 multi-species small mesh bottom trawl survey.” While without documentation, the difficulty of sampling this quite small, rocky-reef species make this record at least plausible.
