Seasonal distribution and environmental associations among late larval and juvenile rockfish (Sebastes spp.) off Oregon and Washington: new insights based on genetics

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 Ocean off Oregon and Washington. These unknowns identified by comparison with a data set of sequences generated from known (morphologically identified) adult fishes. This project demonstrates the utility of using sequence data to identify larval and juvenile rockfishes, which are known to be difficult or impossible to identify to species morphologically.
