Description:The Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Other Rockfish complex is defined by what it excludes rather than by what it includes. The Other Rockfish complex includes all species of Sebastes and Sebastolobus, other than Pacific ocean perch (POP, Sebastes alutus), northern rockfish (Sebatses. polyspinis) rougheye rockfish (S. aleutianus), and shortraker rockfish (S. borealis). Current definitions of the complex do not specifically exclude blackspotted rockfish (S. melanostictus), a recently recognized species (Orr and Hawkins 2008) that had historically been identified as rougheye rockfish in research surveys. However, blackspotted is currently not distinguished from rougheye rockfish in the fishery catches, and is thus currently managed under the BSAI blackspotted/rougheye complex.
