Oxylebius pictus Gill, 1862. Painted Greenling. To 25.4 cm (10 in) TL (Miller and Lea 1972). Kachemak Bay (Abookire 2002), and Prince William Sound (Orsi et al. 1991), northern Gulf of Alaska to Punta San Pablo (27°14’N, 114°29’W), southern Baja California (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Existing statements of range to Bering Sea are based on older reports that have been discounted (Mecklenburg et al. 2002). Although the Kachemak Bay report lacks a voucher specimen, this species is distinctive and not likely to be misidentified. Benthic; depth: intertidal to 249 m (816 ft) (min.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983; max.: Love et al. 2005).
