Abstract--There is much interannual variation in numbers of first-year Sebastes that settle near shore off northern California, and when more abundant, they become prey of an increased variety of predators. Among predators that concentrate on these abundances are the black rockfish (Sebastes melanops); the blue rockfish (Sebastes mystinus); and the kelp greenling (Hexagrammos decagrammus). One might expect S. melanops to be involved in these attacks because it is known to be pisciv...

Marine Fisheries Review ; Introduction The ragfish, Icosteus aenigmaticus (Fig. 1), with its soft musculature and cartilaginous skeleton, has been aptly characterized as a puzzling fish with soft bones (Fitch and Lavenberg, 1968; Moyle and Cech, 1996). Although external morphology has been described, most details of
