"Ten specimens of the dappled flounder Paralichthys woolmani were captured at a depths from 109 to 248.1 m in the central Gulf of California in an exploration cruise on board the research ship BIP XII in February 2005. The average temperature and dissolved oxygen concentration were 14.5°C and 1.01 mg O2 L-1, respectively. P. woolmani had not been reported at greater depth than 100 m. This new record represents an increase of 148.1 m in its bathymetric distribution in the Gulf of California."
