Atherinopsis californiensis Girard, 1854. Jacksmelt. To 48.6 cm (19.1 in) TL (Love et al. 2005). Yaquina Bay, Oregon (Miller and Lea 1972) to at least Bahía Magdalena, southern Baja California (De La Cruz-Agüero et al. 1994), and in western and northeastern Gulf of California (Robertson and Allen 2002). Nearshore; marine, brackish, and occasionally fresh water (Moyle 2002); depth: surface and intertidal to at least 29 m (95 ft) (min.: Carlisle et al. 1960; max.: Limbaugh 1955); also found in hypersaline ponds (Ruiz-Campos et al. 2000). A maximum depth record of 103 m (338 ft) (NWFSC-FRAM), from a bottom trawl haul, is likely in error and represents a midwater catch on deployment or retrieval.
