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).
