Microplastics (<5mm) are a ubiquitous environmental pollutant that have the potential to cause significant harm in many fish species. Therefore, understanding the quantities at which they are being consumed by living organisms is crucial for characterizing risk. There are currently gaps in the microplastic literature regarding microplastic data from finfish...

The phenotypic identification of sex in Sebastes rockfish is difficult and often impractical from a management perspective, and the genetic basis of sex determination in the genus is currently uncertain. We tested a previously developed sex identifi- cation polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) assay in eight species...
Little is known about intraspecific variation within the deacon rockfish (Sebastes di‐ aconus), a recently described species found in the northeast Pacific Ocean. We in‐ vestigated population structure among fish sampled from two nearshore reefs (Siletz Reef and Seal Rock) and one offshore site (Stonewall Bank) within a <50‐km2 area...
Cytochrome B sequence data (FASTA format) from the paper “Seasonal distribution and environmental associations among late larval and juvenile rockfish (Sebastes spp.) off Oregon and Washington: new insights based on genetics”. The data was generated from a sample of 2534 unknown, field collected late-larval and juvenile rockfishes from the Pacific...
The use of some age determination methods may result in the
incorrect age structure of fish populations. This in turn may lead
to incorporation of inappropriate data into models used for stock
management. Otoliths are commonly used for determining the age of
fishes, and ages based on the whole otoliths...

The growth, size and age composition, mortality and reproduction of darkblotched rockfish (Sebastes crameri) were examined using fishery data and analysis of fish
characteristics for samples collected of f the Oregon coast. A total of 1060 fish, caught by commercial groundfish and shrimp trawlers operating out of Newport, Coos Bay...
