1 Backgrounder: Geography of Rockfish This backgrounder explains the geographic areas and coordinates used in setting regulations; where different types of rockfish are found; and the differences between nearshore, slope and shelf areas. More information on rockfish, including habitat maps, can be found at www. pcouncil.org/habitat/habsuitmaps.html. INPFC Sub-Areas International North Pacific Fisheries Commission (INPFC) subareas are sometimes used to define fishing areas. The IN- PFC was established in 1952 and dissolved in 1993, but the areas defined by the INPFC are still commonly used in fisheries management. Vancouver: U.S.-Canada border to N. latitude Columbia: to N. latitude Eureka: to N. latitude Monterey: to N. latitude Conception: N. latitude to the U.S.-Mexican border Pacific Fishery Management Council 7700 NE Ambassador Place, Suite 101 Portland, Oregon Phone Toll free Fax

2 Landmark Locations The following latitudes and landmarks are commonly used as regulatory boundaries: Washington Cape Alava, WA Queets River, WA Pt. Chehalis, WA Leadbetter Point, WA Washington/Oregon border N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude Oregon Cape Falcon, OR (south of Cannon Beach): Cape Lookout, OR (about 10 miles south of Tillamook) Cascade Head, OR Heceta Head, OR Cape Arago, OR Cape Blanco, OR (north of Port Orford) Humbug Mountain Oregon/California border N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude California Cape Mendocino, CA (slightly north of ) North/South management line (south of Eureka, near Garberville) Point Arena, CA (about 30 miles south of Mendocino) Point San Pedro, CA Pigeon Point, CA Ano Nuevo, CA Point Lopez, CA Point Conception, CA (north of Santa Barbara near Buellton) N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude N. latitude Rockfish Locations Currently, many regulations are designed to lessen the impacts of fishing on certain species of rockfish. Rockfish (except thornyheads) are divided into categories north and south of N. latitude, depending on the depth where they are often caught: nearshore, shelf, or slope. 2

3 Nearshore is defined (by the California Nearshore Fishery Management Plan) as the area from the high-tide line offshore to a depth of 120 ft (20 fm). Shelf refers to the continental shelf, while slope refers to the continental slope. Nearshore rockfish North of N. latitude black (Sebastes melanops) blue (S. mystinus) brown (S. auriculatus) China (S. nebulosus) copper (S. caurinus) quillback (S. maliger) Shelf rockfish North of N. latitude bocaccio (S. paucispinis) canary (S. pinniger) chilipepper (S. goodei) greenstriped (S. elongatus) pygmy (S. wilsoni) redstripe (S. proriger) rosethorn (S. helvomaculatus) silvergrey (S. brevispinis) stripetail (S. saxicola) tiger (S. nigrocinctus) vermilion (S. miniatus) widow (S. entomelas) yelloweye (S. ruberrimus) yellowtail (S. fl avidus) South of N. latitude black (Sebastes melanops) black and yellow (S. chrysomelas) blue (S. mystinus) brown (S. auriculatus) calico (S. dalli) California scorpionfish (Scorpaena guttata) China (S. nebulosus) copper (S. caurinus) gopher (S. carnatus) grass (S. rastrelliger) kelp (S. atrovirens) olive (S. serranoides) quillback (S. maliger) treefish (S. serriceps) South of N. latitude bocaccio (S. paucispinis) bronzespotted (S. gilli) canary (S. pinniger) chameleon (S. phillipsi) chilipepper (S. goodei) cowcod (S. levis) dwarf-red (S. rufinanus) flag (S. rubrivinctus) freckled (S. lentiginosus) greenblotched (S. rosenblatti) greenspotted (S. chlorostictus) greenstriped (S. elongatus) halfbanded (S. semicinctus) honeycomb (S. umbrosus) Mexican (S. macdonaldi) pink (S. eos) pinkrose (S. simulator) pygmy (S. wilsoni) redstripe (S. proriger) rosethorn (S. helvomaculatus) rosy (S. rosaceus) shortbelly (S. jordani) silvergrey (S. brevispinis) (mostly in north) speckled (S. ovalis) squarespot (S. hopkinsi) starry (S. constellatus) stripetail (S. saxicola) swordspine (S. ensifer) tiger (S. nigrocinctus) vermilion (S. miniatus) 3
