| Notes | Juvenile lingcod were captured in Yaquina Bay. Their habitat preferences were studied in the laboratory, then fish were radio-tagged and released in the bay, and those habitat preferences were studied. Juvenile lingcod seem to prefer relatively deep water and structurally complex sites that provide refuge from predators. |
