Spatiotemporal patterns of variability in the abundance and distribution of winter-spawned pelagic juvenile rockfish in the California Current.

This pattern is more evident when the fraction of the total rockfish catch assigned to each category is considered, as well as when total catches are scaled by the L infinity estimate, where L infinity is the asymptotic maximum size of adults based on the von-Bertalanffy growth equation (sources for each L infinity estimate are reported in S1 Table ) for each species, indicating a clear trend of greater abundance of taxa with larger maximum body size of Sebastes in more northern waters.
