The species is pelagic and anadromous, traveling more than 600 km up some east coast rivers (Hildebrand 1963; Moyle 1976). It was introduced to the Sacramento River, California, in 1871-81 and has spread in the North Pacific to Kamchatka and the Bering Sea in the north and to Todos Santos Bay, Baja California, in the south (Lee et al. 1980; Howe 1981). It is landlocked in Millerton Lake, California (Lee et al. 1980). The species has been reported from the surface to 183 m in depth (Howe 1981). Survey data Found from southwestern Vancouver Island to Monterey Bay, California. Depth range 25 to 375 m, most frequently ( of occurrences) on the outer shelf from 100 to 150 m, and of occurrences from 50 to 250 m in depth. Survey data occur within the known geographic range, but include a greater maximum depth. However, because this species is epipelagic in the ocean and most of the survey samples were taken by bottom trawls, the species may have been taken near the surface but recorded at a greater depth.
