Sebastes flavidus (Ayres, 1862) .

Yellowtail Rockfish. To 66 cm ( 26 in) TL ( Phillips 1957). Eastern Aleutian Islands south of Unalaska Island (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Isla de Cedros, central Baja California ( Ramírez-Valdez et al. 2015). Depth: surface ( Miller and Lea 1972), intertidal to 549 m ( 1,801 ft) (min.: Chotkowski 1994; max.: Allen and Smith 1988). The extremely outlier maximum depth of 1,150 m ( 3,772 ft) in the NWFSC-FRAM database is without any documentation and is almost certainly in error.
