Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary is a federal, marine protected area located off the central coast of California, USA. Understanding biodiversity, and how it is changing, is necessary to effectively manage the sanctuary. The large size of this sanctuary, which contains a variety of habitats and is influenced by several water masses, provides for a diverse fish fauna. The central California coast has a rich history of ichthyological research and surveys, contributing to a unique repository of information on fish diversity. Herein, we provide a checklist of fishes that occur within the sanctuary, including justification for each species. Ancillary record information including name-bearing type specimens, historic species, cold- or warm-water event species, introduced species, and occurrence at Davidson Seamount or Elkhorn Slough are also provided. This represents the first comprehensive annotated checklist of 507 fishes known to occur within the sanctuary. In addition, 18 species are considered to be extralimital. This annotated checklist of fishes can be used by those interested in zoogeography, marine protected areas, ichthyology, regional natural history, and sanctuary management. MBNMS or sanctuary) is a federal, marine protected area located off the central coast of California, USA ; early institutions involved in specimen collections and subsequent study ; and the more recent expansion of marine research institutions in central California. These early and recent surveys, preserved specimen collections, and scientific publications provide a wealth of information to create an inventory of fishes that occur within MBNMS.A comprehensive inventory of fish species occurring within MBNMS is unavailable. Disparate lists are available for subsets of fishes, including commonly occurring species, fished species, and species within a particular habitat of MBNMS e.g., . We creaWe first generated a draft list of fishes that should occur within MBNMS based on regional guidebooks and checklists of fishes, including: In an effort to provide defensible justification for each species, we considered the following sources as basis for inclusion, in order of importance: 1) museum specimen; 2) publication; and/or 3) expert-verified visual record. In addition, we followed a general rule for inclusion: the occurrence of any life history stage of the species within the current boundaries of MBNMS .MBARI) online Deep Sea Guide (To determine a basis for inclusion (if any), we investigated ichthyological collections at natural history museum collections with online databases including California Academy of Sciences, Stanford University, Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California San Diego, Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, Burke Museum at University of Washington, and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Natural History. In addition, we consulted the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories fish collection, which is primarily a teaching resource. Where records were few and/or questionable, we examined specimens that were readily accessible to confirm identification. If museum specimens were lacking, we then consulted publications, where primary sources of peer-reviewed scientific literature carried the most weight. Finally, if taxonomic experts could verify species from imagery , we sparingly used these visual record(s) for basis. With technological advancements, video observations of deep-sea species are on the rise. Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute’s , and larval specimens were stored as uncatalogued specimens at Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), La Jolla, California.In addition, we conducted a midwater trawl survey during May 2015 aboard NOAA Ship “Bell M. Shimada”, which included the following areas of MBNMS: Davidson Seamount, Sur Ridge, Monterey Canyon, and off Monterey . Juvenile and adult specimens were deposited at The checklist is organized in taxonomic order, following "Fishes of the World" , unless Terms used to describe species inclusion are defined below. Symbolic museum codes used in the checklist are listed in Table Museum specimens: Specimens were collected within MBNMS and catalogued at a natural history museum. Specimens listed do not necessarily represent all catalogued specimens occurring within MBNMS, but merely as examples to provide a basis for inclusion. We attempted to list three records (where available); and for those records to span a geographical range of occurrence within MBNMS, identified by known experts. Records are listed in alphabetical order, according to museum symbolic code  notated in checklist as follows: Author (year) .Visual records: Species observed with imagery (video or photo) and verified by expert or authority. Year of collection may be noted, especially if it occurred during an unusual oceanographic event. Visual record(s) are listed in checklist as institution code and dive number .Several species occurring within MBNMS are anadromous . Records of species occurring in fresh or brackish water (adjacent to MBNMS) are included where no marine records are available, because part of the life cycle requires movement between fresh and marine water bodies, thereby traversing MBNMS waters.Type specimens: Name-bearing type specimens  collected within MBNMS. Type specimen(s) are listed in checklist as name-bearing type .Historic specimens: Specimen(s) collected many years before present, but not known from recent years; and not otherwise collected during unusual oceanographic events .Warm-water events: Specimen(s) collected during, or soon after, unusually warm-water events , but otherwise unknown or rare during normal oceanographic conditions. Several references were consulted to determine the occurrence of warm-water events, including Cold-water events: Specimen(s) collected during, or soon after, unusually cold-water events , but otherwise unknown or rare during normal oceanographic conditions. Several references were consulted to determine the occurrence of cold-water events, including Davidson Seamount area: Known to occur within the Davidson Seamount Management Zone of MBNMS . Extralimital species are not considered part of the primary checklist, and are listed separately.The annotated checklist includes 507 fish species, representing 325 genera and 148 families (Table Oncorhynchusgorbuscha); Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchusketa); Spotted Sand Bass ; Salema ; California Corbina (Menticirrhusundulatus); Garibaldi (Hypsypopsrubicundus); and Pacific Sandfish (Trichodontrichodon). These species have not been observed within MBNMS for many years, and/or have rarely been observed. Their recent rarity can be attributed to local extinction , or otherwise a northern or southern species that has rarely been observed in sanctuary waters. Although rarely observed or not observed for some time, they could potentially occur again and remain on the checklist.Seven species are considered historic: Pink Salmon (Rhincodontypus) was reported during several cold-water events . The 49 species occurring during warm-water events do not necessarily occur solely during warm-water events , but they are more likely to be observed at these times ; Threespine Stickleback (Gasterosteusaculeatus); Yellowfin Goby ; Arrow Goby (Clevelandiaios); and Longjaw Mudsucker (Gillichthysmirabilis). The Davidson Seamount Management Zone occurs far offshore and the fish fauna there is influenced by oceanic water masses to the north and west, such as the Subarctic-Transitional and Central Pacific water masses. The 83 species occurring at Davidson Seamount are not restricted to the seamount and occur elsewhere in deep-sea or oceanic habitats.Species occurring within two specific habitats of the sanctuary, Elkhorn Slough and Davidson Seamount, are noted due to the uniqueness of each habitat compared to the rest of MBNMS. Of the 507 species in MBNMS, 79 species are found in the Elkhorn Slough area, and 83 species in the Davidson Seamount area. The majority of these species are not restricted to these habitats within MBNMS, although Elkhorn Slough may be the exception. This is not surprising due to the mixture of brackish and saltwater habitats, and the life history requirements of some species. Elkhorn Slough also provides habitat for marine species from nearshore waters to feed, mate, and spawn . Five spAlosasapidissima); Threadfin Shad (Dorosomapetenense); Striped Bass (Moronesaxatilis); Barred Knifejaw (Oplegnathusfasciatus); and Yellowfin Goby (Acanthogobiusflavimanus). The Barred Knifejaw is the most recent introduction to MBNMS , and it remains to be seen if it will establish itself as a viable resident.Five species are non-native, that were either purposefully or inadvertently introduced to California: American Shad (Scopelosaurusadleri); lanternfish (Lampanyctustenuiformis); Spotted Sand Bass ; and California Corbina (Menticirrhusundulatus). Reservation with the first two of these species is due to lack of confidence with identification; the latter two are categorized as historic and/or occurring during warm-water events, and evidence is scant (see checklist for explanation). We include these species on the checklist with the basis as cited.Four species are listed with reservation: waryfish  and Spotted Turbot (Pleuronichthysritteri). Both errors were based on misidentifications in the field that were then perpetuated in the literature. Once these sorts of mistakes occur and are repeated, these myths become difficult to eradicate. Our purpose in emphasizing these examples is to shed light on such problems and resolve these misrepresentations. First, the northern limit for Ophidionscrippsae has been reported as “Central California”  and from a depth greatly exceeding its known bathymetric limit. The accessioned specimens (UW 47375) were examined by RN Lea and re-determined as Spotted Cusk-eel (Chilarataylori), with both location and depth well within the limits for Chilarataylori. The known northern limit for Ophidionscrippsae is off the vicinity of Point Arguello  and the maximum confirmed depth is 135 m . Similarly, the northern limit for Pleuronichthysritteri was reported off Northern California , a species relatively common within MBNMS. Pleuronichthysritteri is primarily a southern California–Baja California shallow water species  that occurred within today’s MBNMS boundaries. Those interested in zoogeography of fishes may be interested in historic and recent occurrence information for fishes within MBNMS. In addition, warm-water and cold-water event information is included to help explain potentially temporary occurrence patterns, or sporadic events. An inventory of known sanctuary resources is a basic requirement of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) of 1972, as amended (16 U.S.C. § 1431 et seq.). Species inventories provide evidence of occurrence and estimates of species richness. Establishing an inventory is a crucial first step to further identify those species that are endemic, threatened, introduced (provided herein), or socio-economically important, information which may be useful for sanctuary managers. It is our hope that this checklist will be useful for many readers and serve as a model for species inventories for the National Marine Sanctuary System.Eptatretusdeani . Black Hagfish.

Common name follows Physiculusnematopus Gilbert, 1890. Charcoal Codling. Museum specimen: CAS-ICH 241419 . This account documents the first verifiable record of this species from outside the Panamic biogeographic province. The specimen was collected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, F/V Donna Kathleen, on 25 Mar 2013, using fish traps while conducting juvenile rockfish surveys in Monterey Bay. The fish was given to RNL for identification as an unusual capture. Upon examination it was obvious as Physiculus and would have been easy to assume it as Physiculusrastrelliger, Hundred-fathom Codling; the species known from the eastern North Pacific and occasionally encountered off California. However, during routine analysis it became apparent that it was not P.rastrelliger and was in fact P.nematopus. Data relating to the specimen including characteristics distinguishing it from P.rastrelliger: 173 mm TL; 155 mm SL; 62.1 g; caudal area injured, hence second dorsal fin, anal fin soft-ray, and caudal fin counts were not possible – confirmed by x-ray; first Dorsal fin IX; Pectoral fin left 24; Pelvic fins 6, filamentous (7 in P.rastrelliger); Gill rakers left 3+13=16 .
