Atherinops affinis (Ayres, 1860) View in CoL .
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.
