Jordania zonope, the longfin sculpin,[1] is a species of sculpin native to the northeastern Pacific Ocean, ranging from Baranof Island (Alaska) to Point Lobos (California). It can be found at depths of 2 to 38 m (6.6 to 124.7 ft). This species grows to a length of 15 cm (5.9 in) TL. This species is sometimes displayed in public aquariums. This species is the only known member of its genus, Jordania. J. zonope is a demersal fish that is adapted morphologically and behaviorally to frequent a variety of rock surfaces and to feed on an array of prey types. J. zonope are generally olive green, marked by a red-banded color pattern which blends well with their habitats. They are mostly found on rock faces, and there its coloration helps to camouflage it from predators.[2]
