Sebastes rubrivinctus (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880) .

Flag Rockfish. To 44 cm (17.2 in) TL (Love et al. 2005). Stonewall Bank (44°31’N, 124°26’W), Oregon (Robert Hannah, pers. comm. to M.L.) to southern Bahía de Sebastian Vizcaino, central Baja California (28°06’W) (Rodríguez-Romero et al. 2009). Benthic; depth: 30–431 m (100– 1,414 ft) (min.: Eschmeyer and Herald 1983; max.: Bradburn et al. 2011). Young juveniles frequently live under drifting kelp. It is now assumed that most records of S. rubrivinctus from Oregon to Alaska, and fish identified as S. rubrivinctus larger than about 45 cm, refer to Sebastes babcocki (Thompson, 1915) .
