		Tagart (1991), in a detailed stock analysis of yellowtail rockfish in the trawl fishery, reported that ages (based on otoliths) showed that a single dominant mode, comprising 1974, 1975, and 1976 cohorts, led landings during the 1980-86 period as the last of the strong 1963 cohort was fished down in the Eureka/S. Columbia INPFC area.

	Rockfish: Wildlife Notebook Series - Alaska Department of Fish and Game
		Yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus), a shelf demersal rockfish, are a longer-lived species, becoming sexually mature around 15 years of age and living in excess of 100 years.
		Because rockfish take so long to become reproductively mature, and because many stocks are so site-specific and do not move around much, populations are extremely vulnerable to overexploitation.
		Also, rockfish have a type of swim bladder that uses a special gas-producing and absorbing gland to change the volume of gas in the swim bladder, which is used to maintain buoyancy at different depths in the water.

	WDFW - Protecting Washington’s Yelloweye Rockfish
		A recent stock assessment indicates that the yelloweye rockfish population has declined over 80% from its initial level. As a result, immediate action must be taken if the stocks of these long-lived fish are to be rebuilt.
		To rebuild yelloweye rockfish populations, the harvest opportunities for this species must be severely curtailed. In recent years, the Pacific Fishery Management Council has set yelloweye rockfish harvest levels for all commercial, recreational, and tribal fisheries combined for California, Oregon, and Washington of about 25 metric tons (mt).
		Yelloweye rockfish, in general, are harvested during the Washington recreational halibut fishery. If the yelloweye rockfish catch is projected to exceed 3 mt, then Pacific ocean waters adjacent to Washington outside 25 fathoms will be closed to recreational bottomfish fishing (including halibut).
