Atherinops affinis (Ayres, 1860). Topsmelt. To 38.8 cm (15.3 in) TL (M.L., unpubl. data). Near Sooke Harbour, Vancouver Island, British Columbia to Gulf of California (Miller and Lea 1972); not in central or southern Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2002). Nearshore; marine, brackish, and very occasionally nearly fresh waters (Moyle 2002); depth: surface (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), intertidal to 26 m (85 ft) (min: Chotkowski 1994; max.: Limbaugh 1955). A maximum depth record of 63 m (207 ft) (NWFSC-FRAM), from a bottom trawl haul, is likely in error and represents a midwater catch on deployment or retrieval. ... : Published as part of Love, Milton S., Bizzarro, Joseph J., Cornthwaite, Maria, Frable, Benjamin W. & Maslenikov, Katherine P., 2021, Checklist of marine and estuarine fishes from the Alaska-Yukon Border, Beaufort Sea, to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, pp. 1-285 in Zootaxa 5053 (1) on page 92, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5578008 ...
