Latin Name: Sebastes caurinus
Geographic Range: Range is from Alaska to Baja.
SCUBA Divers Info:
This is a very common rockfish usually found in quieter water along walls or in kelp. It is one of the rockfish that does not usually school as an adult. A giant might be two feet long but most that I see are closer to one foot in length.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not normally inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
