The mechanosensory system of the lateral line in the Scorpaeniformes order, has been studied in taxa like Liparidae (Chernova & Stein, 2004; Lanoo et al., 2009), Cottidae (Jones & Jansen, 1992; Telcean et al., 2005; Coombs & Grossman, 2006),
Hexagrammidae (Wonsettler & Webb, 1997) and Normanichthyidae (Mandrytsa, 1993).
The size of mature oocytes and thick zona radiata are similar to those of some members of the families Salmonidae, Pleuronectidae,
Hexagrammidae, Hemitripteridae, Cottidae, and Clupeidae, which have adhesive demersal eggs that are deposited on a variety of substrates.
Social behavior and coloration changes in painted greenling, Oxylebius pictus (Pisces:
Hexagrammidae).
These MPA's are permanently designated in the Federal fishery management plans (FMP's) and in the implementing regulations governing the crab, Chionoecetes spp., Lithodes spp., and Paralithodes spp.; scallop, Patinopecten caurinus; Pacific salmon, Oncorhynchus spp.; and groundfish (Gadidae, Scorpaenidae,
Hexagrammidae, Anoplopomatidae, and Pleuronectidae) fisheries.
Individual fish from the 3 most visually dominant taxonomic families (Sebastidae, Embitocidae, and
Hexagrammidae) were recorded to species and their length (all fish lengths herein are reported as total length [TL] in centimeters) was estimated into length classes, which varied among species.
The lingcod, Ophiodon elongatus, is a large carnivorous fish of the family
Hexagrammidae inhabiting the eastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Baja California (Miller and Lea, 1972).
Lingcod (Ophiodon elongates) are members of the family
Hexagrammidae and are found in the northeast coastal waters of the Pacific Ocean.
