Striped Beakfish found in crabpot off Port Orford

February 25, 2015

Striped knifejaw caught in crab pot just north of Port Orford. This fish, Oplegnathus fasciatus, is endemic to Japan! This fish is related to the 5 fish that survived the 2 year trip in a Japanese skiff that washed up in Seaside in 2013.
