Shiner Perch, Shiner Surfperch, White Surf-fish, or Yellow Shiner. To 21 cm (8.3 in) TL (Toole et al. 2011). Saint John Baptist Bay (about 57 ° 17 ’ N, 135 ° 34 ’ W), south-eastern Alaska (Johnson et al. 2003) to Punta Baja, northern Baja California (Rosales-Casián 2011). Marine, brackish, and occasionally fresh waters (Moyle 2002); depth: intertidal to 310 m (1,017 ft) (min.: Hubbs 1921; max.: NWFSC-FRAM). Although the maximum depth is without documentation, we note that the DFO dataset also has several records in that depth range. The Island Perch, Cymatogaster gracilis Tarp, 1952, is a junior synonym.
