Description
Summary:Lepidopsetta bilineata (Ayres, 1855). Rock Sole or Southern Rock Sole. To perhaps 58 cm (22.8 in) TL (Orr and Matarese 2000). There is a maximum length of 59.5 cm (23.4 in) TL in the DFO database. However, this datum cannot be confirmed, as the DFO database does not differentiate between L. bilineata and Lepidopsetta polyxystra Orr & Matarese, 2000. Bering Sea near Pribilof Islands (56°02’N 169°53’W), and western Aleutian Islands near Buldir Island (51°58’N, 176°05’E) (Maslenikov et al. 2013); transforming larva captured further northward at 57°54’N, 169°40’W (Maslenikov et al. 2013), and south-eastern Bering Sea (Slime Bank north of Unimak Island) to Cortes Bank (Orr and Matarese 2000), and La Jolla (Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California), southern California. Benthic; depth: 1–476 m (3–1,561 ft) (min.: Personal communication: Scripps Institution of Oceanography Fish Collection, La Jolla, California; max.: DFO). The AFS–ASIH fish names committee (Nelson et al. 2004) chose to keep the name Rock Sole for this fish, but with the new species, the Northern Rock Sole, we feel it is less confusing to call L. bilineata the Southern Rock Sole, as recommended by Orr and Matarese (2000).
