Hexagrammos lagocephalus
(Pallas, 1810)
.
Rock Greenling
. To
61 cm
(
24 in
) TL (
Miller and Lea 1972
). Yellow and
Japan
Seas, and Sea of Okhotsk to Commander–Aleutian Chain (Mecklenburg
et al.
2002), to southern California (
34°15’N
) (NWFSC-FRAM). Benthic; marine and brackish waters (
Dyldin and Orlov 2017
); depth: intertidal to
80 m
(
262 ft
) in eastern Pacific (min.:
Miller and Lea 1972
; max.: Mecklenburg
et al.
2002) to
596 m
(
1,955 ft
) in western Pacific (
Orlov 1998
). Following Mecklenburg
et al.
(2002),
Mecklenburg and Eschmeyer (2003)
, and some earlier authors, treatment here includes
Hexagrammos superciliosus
(Pallas, 1810)
, which is classified by some authors as a distinct species. Molecular evidence presented by
Crow
et al.
(2004)
supports the existence of a single, widely distributed species.
