It reaches a length of fifteen inchesand a weight of two or three pounds. It ranges from San Luis Obispo toAlaska, and is much more generally common than any of the other species,and large numbers are brought into the market of San Francisco. It livesin rocky places of no great depth. It feeds voraciously on crustaceans andworms. It spawns in July. It dies at once on being taken from thewater, and the flesh becomes rigid and does not keep as well as that ofthe rock-fish. It is a food-fish of fair quality, but not of fine.
