| Notes | This article seeks to identify essential habitat for black rockfish and blue rockfish. Nearshore reefs were essential for blue rockfish, while estuaries provided essential fish habitat for black rockfish. "Settlement patterns suggest that black rockfish had a strong preference for anthropogenic habitat (docks, pilings, jetties) within the Yaquina Bay estuary. . . Small sample sizes of juvenile yellowtail rockfish S. flavidus and widow rockfish S. entomelas suggest that estuaries are also important for these species." [from the abstract] |
