FBname: Puget Sound rockfish
Comments: Inhabits reefs and rocky shorelines and found in loose congregations hovering above the bottom or resting among caves and crevices (Ref. 27436).  Seeks shelter in areas of strong current (Ref. 2850).  Viviparous (Ref. 34817).  Flesh is tasty and flaky, but since it is rarely caught, it is seldom used as a food fish (Ref. 2850, 27436).  May be used as bait for large rockfish, lingcod or cabezon (Ref. 27436).
