Although the abundance centers differ for the three Atlantic species of the genus Menticirrhus, the southern end of the known range for northern kingfish overlaps the northern end of the known range of the southern kingfish.
Without differentiation of the species in catch data, accurate values of the fishing effort and intensity for the northern kingfish throughout its known entire range connot be presently determined.
Members of the genus Menticirrhus, however, are assumed mute, as the swim bladder is lacking in adults.

 California Corbina
Fish Identification Photos: California Corbina, Menticirrhus undulatus: The California Corbina is characterized by its elongated, slightly compressed body that is gray with incandescent reflections.
The California Corbina might be confused with a series of other croakers, including the Highfin King Croaker, the King Croaker, the Paita King Croaker, and the Panama King Croaker, all of which are of the Genus Menticirrhus and found in Mexican waters, and the Yellowfin Croaker, Umbrina roncador.

The variable sites of the 16S alignment for the 15 sciaenid taxa are shown in Figure 2, the total length of the alignment being 517 sites with 376 invariants and 75 variable sites excluding deletions.
Interestingly, analyses based on swim bladder, otolith or external morphology have presented similar difficulties in that such analyses have shown a polytomic arrangement for southwestern Atlantic sciaenids (Chao, 1978) with the majority of the genera studied being placed in a monotypic supra-genera category.
Further support for the Bairdiella/Stellifer group comes from the highly significant bootstrap values (>95%) for this clade (Figure 3), while the decay index (Bremer, 1994) for this node is 9 which means that nine additional mutations would be necessary to break this well-supported clade.

Rhamnocercus stichospinus Seamster and Monaco, 1956 (Diplectanidae) parasitic on the sciaenid fish Menticirrhus americanus from the coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro, is redescribed and recorded for the first time in the South American Atlantic Ocean.
During a parasitological survey of marine fishes from the coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 115 specimens of the sciaenid fish Menticirrhus americanus Linnaeus were necropsied and numerous polyonchoinean specimens were collected.

Eucinostomus argenteus comprised 78 % of the larvae and juveniles caught in the samples.
The occurrence of gerreids was strongly concentrated in the summer, while the Menticirrhus littoralis, Menticirrhus americanus and Umbrina coroides were present during all seasons.
M.littoralis was most abundant during spring, while M. americanus and U. coroides dominated during winter.

 FINAL REPORT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
California halibut (Pleuronectes californicus) and diamond turbot (Hypsopsetta guttulata) were generally represented by juvenile life history stages that opportunistically used the shallow lagoon waters during the late winter/early spring before migrating to nearshore ocean habitats.
Marine species such as the California corbina (Menticirrhus undulatus), a common coastal species generally found in the surf zone, were collected near the mouth.
The presence of these species indicates the ocean inlet at the mouth was providing some functional links for opportunistic fish migration between lagoon and ocean habitats.
