Taxonomic remark I have kept (Canadian) Pacific records of S. baccatum separate from the Atlantic in case future work shows that the Pacific form is distinct or composed of more than one form. This is suggested by the egg size of the forms from Paralichthys dentatus, which is much smaller (61-68 pm) than that normally recorded for S. baccatum. [details]
