SEBASTOLOBUS ALASCANUS Bean. 



The following are distinctive characters of this species compared 

 with 8. altivelis: 



Spinous dorsal normally XVI (rarely XV or XVII), the fin low, the 

 outline regularly rounded, the spines increasing in length to the 

 fourth or fifth, thence decreasing to the fourteenth, or occasionally 

 the thirteenth, the last 2 (rarely the last 3) again lengthened. Notch 

 between dorsals averaging deeper than in S. altivelis. Gill-rakers 

 short, about half length of pupil, 6 in number on upper limb of outer 

 arch, 9 developed and 4 rudimentary on horizontal limb. Cephalic 

 spines all stronger; 2 well developed paroccipitals, the anterior 

 immediately behind the upper posterior orbital rim, rarely broken 

 up into 2 or 3 small points. Two distinct black blotches on spinous 

 dorsal, the 2 rarely confluent, usually separated by half the length of 

 the fin. Pectorals dusky, becoming fighter at base in the young, 

 the basal light bar widening with age until the dark bar is confined 

 to distal half of fin, the posterior margin usually whitish. The dark 

 pectoral bar is crossed by narrow light vertical lines or by vertical 

 series of light spots. Dark coloration of pectorals may wholly dis- 

 appear in adults. The lining of buccal and gill-cavities is with little 

 or no black pigment at any age. In fife, this species is of a lighter 

 more orange-red, the inside of mouth is white, only slightly tinged 

 posteriorly, and the opercle shows a bare trace of dusky. The nasal 

 cirrus is developed as a simple narrow tentacle.
