Copper Rockfish travels 225 miles!
by Bodega Marine Laboratory
A Copper Rockfish (12 inches) was initially tagged in Piedras Blancas MPA on 8/20/2013. It was then recaptured near Stewarts Point (17 inches) on 9/28/2017. That means it travelled
(1.25 inches a year). Copper Rockfish have been previously thought to move very little.
