Fluffy Sculpin . To 9.2 cm ( 3.6 in ) SL, about 11 cm ( 4.3 in ) TL ( Cox et al. 2006 ). Chernabura Island, western Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002); Samsing Cove, near Sitka, south-eastern Alaska ( Quast 1968 ) to Punta Cono ( 29°06’N , 114°42’W ), central Baja California (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California ). Benthic; depth: intertidal to 6 m ( 20 ft ) 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.
