Summary: | Sebastes alutus (Gilbert, 1890). Pacific Ocean Perch. To 75 cm (29.5 in) FL (DFO); about 78.8 cm (31 in) TL based on conversion factors in Echeverria and Lenarz (1984). Southern Japan and Sea of Okhotsk to Bering Sea at Navarin Canyon, and Commander Islands and Aleutian Islands (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Punta Blanca (29°08’N, 115°26’W), central Baja California (Snytko 1986). Benthic; depth: near surface to 1,151 m (3,775 ft) (min.: Mecklenburg et al. 2002; NWFSC-FRAM). Larvae and juveniles may drift into the Chukchi Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). We note that the southernmost record is hundreds of miles below the previous one (Point Loma, southern California, Personal communication: California Academy of Sciences Fish Collection, San Francisco, California) and is the only record from Baja California. While this might cast doubt on the Punta Blanca record, we note that the Baja California coast has been very poorly surveyed and this species may be an occasional resident there.
