NotesEstablished that larval and young black rockfish (Sebastes melanops) use estuaries as nursery grounds in "multiple estuaries on the Oregon coast from spring through late fall, and may be present in highly developed estuaries through their first winter before moving to deeper habitats." More developed estuaries seem to have structures that provide protection for the young fish. Studied rockfish in the Nehalem, Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Coos and Coquille estuaries.
