Abstract.—The marine waters surrounding La Jolla, California have a diverse array

of habitats and include several marine protected areas (MPAs). We compiled a list of

the fish species occurring in the vicinity based on records of specimens archived in

the Marine Vertebrate Collection (MVC) of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography(SIO). Collection of fishes from La Jolla in the MVC started in 1905, but greatly

accelerated in 1944 when Carl L. Hubbs moved to SIO. By 1964, 90% of the 265

species recorded from the area had been collected and archived in the MVC. The

fishes of La Jolla are dominated by species whose center of distribution is north of

Point Conception (111 species), or between there and Punta Eugenia (96), with fewer

species with southern distributions (57), and one exotic species. Reflecting the

diversity of habitats in the area, soft-substrate species number 135, pelagic species 63,

canyon-dwelling species 123 (including 35 rockfish species of the genus Sebastes),and hard-bottom species 140. We quantified the abundance of the latter group

between 2002 and 2005 by counting visible fishes in transects along the rocky

coastline of La Jolla, both within and adjacent to one of the region’s MPAs. In 500

transects, we counted over 90,000 fishes representing 51 species. The fish

communities inside and outside of the MPA were similar and, typical of southern

California kelp forests, numerically dominated by Blacksmith, Chromis punctipinnis

(Pomacentridae), and Senorita, Oxyjulis californica (Labridae). Natural history

collections such as the MVC are important resources for conservation biology fordetermining the faunal composition of MPAs and surrounding habitats, and

documenting both the disappearance and invasion of species.

The coastal environment in and around La Jolla, San Diego County, California is

notable for its complex and diverse array of habitats within a relatively small area. These

include kelp forests, rocky reefs, rocky intertidal, sandy beaches, sand and mud subtidal

areas, eelgrass and surf-grass stands, pier pilings, and submarine canyons, as well as the

pelagic environment. Because of the proximity of the La Jolla and Scripps submarine

canyons, depths range to over 500 meters within less than 7 km of the coastline. These

diverse habitats support a rich marine community, which has served as the focus of a

variety of scientific investigations (e.g., Limbaugh 1955; Quast 1968; Craig et al. 2004;

Brueggeman 2008).

The nearshore environment of La Jolla is especially important within the context of

marine conservation because it houses a network of marine protected areas (MPAs) of

varying size and age and with varying levels of use restrictions (Fig. 1). Historically, the

first of these was the San Diego Marine Life Refuge established in 1957, which included

the Scripps Coastal Reserve, a part of the University of California Natural Reserve

system (McArdle 1997). Directly to the south is the San Diego-La Jolla Ecological

Reserve (SDLJER), a small no-take reserve on the northern end of the La Jolla rocky

coastline that was established in 1971. The San Diego-La Jolla Ecological Reserve Areas

of Special Biological Significance was established in 1974 and largely overlapped the

SDLJER (McArdle 1997). Recently the SDLJER was included in the Matlahuayl State

Marine Reserve (CDFG 2013). In addition, the area on the southern part of the La Jolla

peninsula was recently designated as the South La Jolla State Marine Reserve, and an

area directly west of that was designated as the South La Jolla State Marine Conservation

Area (CDFG 2013). These MPAs have a variety of use restrictions, but all recognize and

seek to protect the biodiversity of this ecologically important region.

This study documents the fish fauna in and around this series of marine protected

areas. The primary source of information on fishes occurring in the La Jolla area was

the Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s Marine Vertebrate Collection (MVC). The

important roles of natural history collections such as the MVC to conservation biology

have been widely documented (Allman 1994; Pyke and Ehrlich 2010; Drew 2011). These

include compiling biotic inventories, documenting the loss or degradation of habitats and

associated biota, documenting changes in the distribution and occurrence of native

species, and documenting species invasions. In addition to compiling an inventory of fish

species collected in the area and archived in the MVC, we report on diver surveys of the

abundance and diversity of fishes in kelp forests, one of the most prominent habitats in

the area, in and around the SDLJER (now the Matlahuayl State Marine Reserve) from

2002 to 2005.

Brief History of Fish Collecting in the La Jolla Area

The marine fishes of California have been studied for many decades and are well-known

(Miller and Lea 1972, 1976; Hubbs et al. 1979; Love et al. 2005; Allen et al. 2006) with at

least 519 species known from state waters (Horn et al. 2006). In addition to early collections

of fishes from the San Diego area reported by Jordan and Gilbert (1880, 1881), the study of

fishes in the San Diego region of southern California was begun in earnest with the

Albatross surveys (Moring 1999) as reported by C.H. Gilbert (1890, 1896, 1915), as well as

inventories by Eigenmann and Eigenmann (1890) and Eigenmann (1892).

The establishment of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) in the San Diego

region in 1903 and its subsequent move to La Jolla in 1905 marked a significant increase

in the study of the region’s biota (Hastings and Rosenblatt 2003). The on-site aquarium

displayed many of the common shallow-water fish species of the area. In 1918, Percy S.

Barnhart (Fig. 2A) was appointed as Collector and Curator of the Aquarium, and in

1926, Barnhart was elevated to the position of Curator of the Biological Collections, a

position he held until 1948. Barnhart studied the local fishes leading to a publication on

the fishes of southern California (Barnhart 1936), and he assembled a small collection of

preserved specimens from the region that ultimately formed the basis of the SIO Marine

Vertebrate Collection (MVC).

Knowledge of the ichthyofauna of the region greatly increased after 1944 when Carl L.

Hubbs (Fig. 2B) moved to SIO and began actively archiving collections of fishes in the

MVC. In negotiations regarding his forthcoming move from the University of Michigan

to SIO, Hubbs wrote to then SIO Director Harald Sverdrup:

‘‘I would no doubt want to put considerable emphasis on systematic and variational

studies of west coast marine fishes, particularly those in which speciation would be

correlated with oceanographical (sic) conditions…I would no doubt be interested in

exploratory work, for instance with the fauna of the deep basins off the southern

California coast. I will probably be interested too in detailed analyses of the

distribution of fishes along the entire west coast, again as correlated with the

oceanographic conditions.’’ (Shor et al. 1987, pp. 226-227).

Before his arrival in October 1944, Hubbs convinced Sverdrup to invest in facilities to

store his anticipated collection of fishes, leading to the ultimate establishment of the

Fig. 1. Map of study area with MPAs designated. Kelp forest fishes were surveyed at La Jolla Cove

and Boomers.

MVC (Shor et al. 1987). Hubbs wasted little time in collecting fishes from the

surroundings of the SIO campus, amassing over 200 collections in his first year and over

500 by the end of the decade (Fig. 3).

Hubbs had another California project in mind when considering the move to La Jolla.

In 1944 he wrote to W. I. Follett in Oakland, with whom he had been corresponding for a

decade:

‘‘I look forward particularly to cooperating with you in making better known the

California fish fauna. I no doubt will have new material published from time to time

on the systematics and biology of the fishes but will definitely hope that you will

maintain your plan to work toward a ‘Fishes of California.’ It will be a pleasure to

make records and other information available for your project.’’ (Shor et al. 1987,

p. 227).

That project was published shortly after Hubb’s death in 1979 (Hubbs et al. 1979).

In 1958, Professor and Curator Richard H. Rosenblatt (Fig. 2C) was hired to oversee

the growing collection of fishes at SIO. He and other researchers and students at SIO

actively collected fishes in and around the La Jolla region. By the end of 1969, over 1,000

collections and well over 3,000 lots of fishes from La Jolla had been archived in the MVC

(Fig. 3). Local collecting of fishes declined after that time due to diverging research

interests, and constraints of space in the MVC for storage of specimens. Since that time,

the MVC has archived specimens of fishes from the La Jolla region primarily when new

or unusual specimens become available, specimens from focused efforts associated with

faunal inventories of the area (e.g., Craig et al., 2004; Craig and Pondella, 2006), and

voucher specimens for the growing MVC tissue collection, established by H.J. Walker in

1993 (Hastings and Burton, 2008).

Materials and Methods

We compiled a list of fishes recorded from La Jolla, California based on specimens

collected and archived in the MVC of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography,

University of California San Diego (Table 1). We included all species collected less than

10 km from shore (east of 117u20.59 W longitude) and from Torrey Pines State Beach

southward to Tourmaline Beach (32u549 N - 32u489 N latitude). This area includes the

entire rocky headland of La Jolla, as well as the primary conservation areas in the vicinity

(Fig. 1). These include the San Diego-Scripps Coastal State Marine Conservation Area,

the Matlahuayl State Marine Reserve, the South La Jolla State Marine Reserve and

Marine Conservation Area (CDFG 2013).

While some collections date to the early 1900s and a few were made in recent years, most

were made between 1944 and 1969 (Fig. 3). Archived specimens were collected using a wide

variety of sampling methods and were taken from the beach or ocean surface to depths of

over 500 meters. Species are listed in Table 1 arranged in taxonomic order. Common names

of families and species follow those recognized by the American Fisheries Society (Page et

al. 2013). Brief information on habitat or habitats occupied and special occurrences is

provided for each species. Habitat type was divided into three categories as follows: H 5

hard substrates, including rocky reef, rocky intertidal, kelp forest, sides of pier pilings,

boulders or any other type of hard substrate; S 5 soft bottom, including sand, mud, eelgrass

and surfgrass; P 5 pelagic, including species that always swim well above the bottom, as

well as those that periodically or regularly swim several meters above the bottom. Also

indicated in Table 1 are the species collected in the La Jolla and Scripps Canyons from .

30 meters depth (5 Cn), and the species observed in transects conducted in and adjacent to

the SDLJER (5 Tr) between 2002 and 2005 (see below).

Frequency of occurrence is based on the number of lots (occurrences) of each species that

have been archived in the MVC that were collected within the designated area, regardless of

the abundance of the species. Common (C) species are those represented by eleven or more

collections, uncommon (U) species were collected in the study area from three to ten times,

and rare (R) species were collected only once or twice in the La Jolla study area. In a few

cases, species that are known by us or reported by others to be more common in the study

area than indicated by collection records are indicated with an asterisk (*). The

biogeographic distribution of each species was designated based on the mid-point of the

entire known range of the species. Range endpoints are from Horn et al. (2006),

supplemented as needed based on published distribution records (e.g., Love et al. 2005).

Southern species (S) are those whose range midpoint is south of Punta Eugenia on the outer

coast of Baja California (27u509 N), northern species (N) have range midpoints north of

Point Conception (34u279 N), and central species (C) have range midpoints between these

well-established biogeographic barriers (Brusca and Wallerstein 1979; Horn et al. 2006).

Between 2002 and 2005, the abundance of fishes associated with kelp forests was visually

surveyed at La Jolla Cove (within the SDLJER, now called the Matlahuayl State Marine

Reserve) and an adjacent site (Boomers) a short distance beyond the reserve boundary

(Fig. 1). Both sites have moderate relief rocky reefs (1-3 m high) scattered throughout the

area and are dominated by red algal turf reefs and kelp forests (Parnell et al. 2005, 2006).

Survey protocols were modeled after established techniques for assessing abundance and

density of conspicuous fishes (McCormick and Choat 1987; Pondella et al. 2005). Randomly

selected, quantitative belt transects were swum by two SCUBA divers for a period of

5 minutes over a distance of 50 m. All fishes (excluding pelagic species) observed within a

two-meter window (i.e., one meter on either side of the diver and one meter above and

below) along the transect were identified to species where possible, and the number of

individuals was counted by each diver. If counts from the divers differed, the average was

recorded. Each transect accounted for 100 m2 of bottom area surveyed. Three replicate

transects were conducted along rocky reef substrates at each of four depths (3 m, 6 m, 9 m,

and 12 m) for a total of twelve transects at each site per survey period. Surveys were

conducted every two months for a total of six periods per year between January 2002 and

December 2005. At certain periods throughout the study, persistent foul weather prevented

full surveys at each sample site, especially for the shallowest depth contours. However, at

least six transects were conducted at every site during each sample period throughout the

study except for July/August 2004 when continuous high surf precluded surveys at Boomers.

Results

Two hundred sixty-five species of fishes from 95 families have been recorded within the

study area based on verified records in the MVC (Table 1). By 1964, 20 years after Hubbs

had arrived at SIO, 238 of these species (90%) had been recorded from the immediate

vicinity of La Jolla, a reflection of the intensive collecting effort made by Hubbs and

associates before that time (Fig. 3). Of the 265 species recorded, 113 are common, 83 are

uncommon, and 68 species are rare based on records in the MVC (Table 2; excluding one

‘‘rare’’ exotic species). The faunal composition of the region is typical of southern

California fish communities in that it is primarily a mixture of warm-temperate and cool-

temperate fishes (Hobson 1994; Horn et al. 2006). Species with central ranges number 96,

those with northern ranges total 111, and those with southern ranges total 57 (Table 2).

Most ‘‘common’’ species have range midpoints in the central region (58 species) or northern

region (44) with relatively few (11) with southern range midpoints. ‘‘Uncommon’’ species

are also dominated by species with central (25), and northern (38) ranges. Few ‘‘rare’’

species have central distributions (13) and more have northern (29) or southern (26)

distributions. A single exotic species (Acanthogobius flavimanus, Gobiidae) rarely has been

recorded from La Jolla.

Hard-bottom Species

The rocky-reef and kelp-forest fishes of La Jolla are perhaps the best-known group due

to their visibility and the fact that they have been studied repeatedly there and elsewhere

in the state (e.g., Limbaugh 1955; North and Hubbs 1968; Quast 1968; Feder et al. 1974;

Kobayashi 1979; Ebeling et al. 1980; Shane 1996; Paddock and Estes 2000; Pondella et al.

2000; Froeschke et al. 2006). In our survey, 140 species associated with hard substrates

were recorded from the study area (Table 1). The majority of these have northern (64

species) or central (57) distributions, while relatively few (19) have southern distributions

(Table 2).

We recorded 51 of these species (excluding schooling species) in the 252 transects at La

Jolla Cove and 248 transects at Boomers (Table 3). Although we counted well over 90,000

fishes (52,520 fishes at La Jolla Cove and 41,330 at Boomers), this represents only 36% of

the hard bottom species recorded from the vicinity. This difference is attributable to several

factors. For example, small, cryptobenthic species are rarely observed by divers, some hard-

bottom species are restricted to depths greater than those surveyed by divers, the surveys

extended for only four years compared to several decades of collecting in the area, and rare

species are unlikely to be recorded during such surveys. The top twelve species by

abundance are listed in Table 4. At both sites, the numerically dominant species were the

Blacksmith, Chromis punctipinnis (Pomacentridae), and the Senorita, Oxyjulis californica

(Labridae) and ten of the top twelve species were identical (Table 4). The mean density of

all species of fishes over the entire sampling period at La Jolla Cove (mean 5 1.95/100 m2,

SE 5 0.29) and at Boomers (mean 5 1.51, SE 5 0.21) did not differ significantly (t 5 1.21,

P . 0.05). Throughout the study period, the abundance of Blacksmith and Senorita varied

greatly and drove many of the overall changes in density. These cycles were characterized

by large recruitment pulses, followed by increases in adult densities.

Soft-bottom Species

The fishes recorded from La Jolla include 135 species known to occur on or over soft

substrates (Table 1). Similar to the hard-bottom fishes, this group is dominated by species

with northern (66 species) or central (52) distributions, with relatively few (17) with

southern distributions (plus one exotic). Excluding the exotic, twelve of these species are

listed as ‘‘resident bay’’ species by Allen et al. (2006). Several La Jolla records for these

are from the ‘‘La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club,’’ but these mostly date between 1950 and

1963, and these species have not (or rarely) been collected in the area since that time. For

example, the Deepbody Anchovy, Anchoa compressa, is based on a single record (SIO 63-

22 - large series) from 1963, the Slough anchovy, Anchoa delicatissima, is based on four

records, one from 1950 (SIO 50-227, 1 specimen), two from 1951 (SIO 51- 37, 1 specimen;

SIO 51-378, 10 specimens) and one from 2002 (SIO 02-26, 1 specimen), and the California

Killifish, Fundulus parvipinnis, is based on a single specimen collected in 1951 (SIO 51-37).

Historically there was a small embayment in the vicinity of the La Jolla Beach and Tennis

Club that has since disappeared (Fig. 2D). Although common in other embayments in

the San Diego region (Allen et al. 2002), this component of the ichthyofauna has been

largely eliminated from the La Jolla area by this habitat alteration.

Pelagic Species

In addition to several coastal fish species that regularly swim in the water column (e.g.,

the silversides and some drums), the proximity of deep waters to the La Jolla coastline

contributes to the local diversity of fishes as several oceanic species closely approach the

Hastings et al.: Fishes of La Jolla

shoreline in this area. This includes several large, mobile species of chondrichthyan

fishes (Klimley et al. 2002), flyingfishes (Exocoetidae), tunas (Scombridae), the Louvar

(Luvarus imperialis), and the Ocean Sunfish (Mola mola), as well as small mesopelagic

species such as the Lowcrest Hatchetfish (Argyropelecus sladeni, Sternoptychidae) that

become stranded on shore during storms. Interestingly, of the 63 species classified as

pelagic, the ‘‘common’’ species are dominated by species with northern distributions (12

of 18 species), while the ‘‘uncommon’’ and ‘‘rare’’ species are dominated by species with

southern distributions (30 of 45 species; Table 2).

Canyon Species

Among the most striking features of the La Jolla coastal zone is the proximity of the La

Jolla and Scripps submarine canyons to the coastline (Brueggeman 2008). The heads of

these canyons come within a few hundred meters of the shore, and the canyons descend to

depths of over 500 meters within 7 km of the coastline. These canyons include steep rock

walls, as well as sand and mud substrates that support a variety of fishes. Species

recorded there number 123, with 68 common, 40 uncommon, and 15 rare species

(Table 2). The canyon ichthyofauna is dominated by species with northern (64 species) or

central (51) distributions, with relatively few (8) species with southern distributions

(Table 2).

Notable among the canyon species are a surprisingly large number of rockfishes: 35

species of the genus Sebastes have been collected from the La Jolla canyons (Table 1). In

addition, a few relatively rare or poorly known species have been taken from this habitat

including the Canyon Sculpin, Icelinus limbaughi (Rosenblatt and Smith 2004) and the

Deepwater Blenny, Cryptotrema corallinum. Some of these species, although rarely

collected within the study area, may be more common in similar, high-relief habitats in

other portions of southern California (Love and Schroeder 2007).

Discussion

The present study compiles records of 265 species collected within the immediate

vicinity of the marine protected areas of La Jolla. Thus, these MPAs have the potential to

provide some measure of protection for half of the 519 marine fish species recorded from

state waters (Horn et al. 2006). This inventory is based exclusively on fish specimens

collected within the designated study area and archived in the MVC. Other fish species

are known to occur in the region and likely occur or have occurred sporadically within

the study area. These include a number of species known to be common in the San Diego

area (Allen et al. 2002) such as the bonefish Albula sp. (Albulidae), the Striped Mullet,

Mugil cephalus (Mugilidae), the Shortfin Corvina, Cynoscion parvipinnis (Sciaenidae),

and several species of gobies (e.g., Clevelandia ios, Gillichthys mirabilis, and Quietula

y-cauda). In addition, a number of southern species of fishes have periodically been

collected in the San Diego area, often in association with El Nino events (e.g., Lea and

Rosenblatt 2000). These include species such as the Cortez Angelfish, Pomacanthus

zonipectus (Pomacanthidae), and the Three Banded Butterflyfish, Chaetodon humeralis

(Chaetodontidae), which have been observed (but not collected) within the La Jolla study

area (Lea et al. 1989; Pondella et al. 1998). As predicted more than a half century ago

(Hubbs 1948), these records suggest that the number of southern species in the La Jolla

area will likely increase as a result of climate change.

Natural history collections, especially those with a regional focus, are critical resources

for documenting the biodiversity of particular areas. Sampling regimes of most natural

history collections are not, however, designed with conservation biology in mind. Instead

they traditionally have focused on the discovery and description of new species, creating

biotic inventories for particular regions, and documenting species distributions. Few

natural history collections are capable of documenting changes in the abundance of

particular organisms because they typically lack repeated, quantitative samples from the

same sites. They may, however, provide information on the occurrence and relative

abundance of cryptic fishes that are often overlooked by diver surveys and other

quantitative sampling methods. Also, because of the long time-scale represented in many

natural history collections, they provide a more complete inventory of species occurring

in an area than is typically available from ecological surveys alone.

In some cases, natural history collections provide insight into the importance of

particular habitats to the overall diversity within a region. For example, this survey

highlights the importance of the La Jolla submarine canyon as habitat for a number of

rockfish species and other rare and poorly known deep-water fishes. In addition, natural

history collections can document long-term changes in species composition. The

historical collections in the MVC document the demise of one ecological component in

La Jolla, bay species, via habitat destruction, and the appearance of an exotic species in

the area. In contrast, quantitative ecological surveys such as visual surveys conducted by

divers, are key to documenting the abundance and short-term changes in abundance of

readily visible reef species and thus they are important in evaluating the performance of

MPAs (Agardy 1997). These surveys supplement data from natural history collections on

the temporal trends of species abundances, including those of importance to recreational

and commercial fisheries.

The role of natural history collections in conservation biology would be facilitated by

periodic resampling of key habitats and archiving of collected specimens on a regular

basis. The extent to which this may be possible is dependent upon staffing of collections,

available resources for collection and storage of specimens, and area restrictions on

collecting activities. Resampling using historically successful methods may be problem-

atic in many instances as collecting methods may be difficult to repeat. For example,

many of the collections in the La Jolla and Scripps Canyons were made by Hubbs prior to

extensive coastal development in the area. He was able to use collecting methods that are

now impractical, including dispersal of large amounts of rotenone or discharge of

explosives at depth. These are unthinkable in the current environment of dense human

populations and activities in the area, and regulations protecting the region’s biota.

Instead, newer technologies such as submersibles and ROVs may be applied (Starr et al.

2008; Lindholm et al. 2012; Stierhoff et al. 2013), but these often provide low resolution

of species identities and rarely reveal small or cryptic species. While the MPAs within the

La Jolla region and those in other areas appropriately limit collecting within their

boundaries, managers should be encouraged to permit reasonable levels of collection of

specimens as long as the specimens are archived in a suitable natural history collection

where they will be available to future generations of researchers.
