"The eggs are difficult to find. They are almost never taken in
deep-water dredging, even in beds where the fish are very numerous. The
United States Fish Commission steamer Albatross
was out for three months
in the spring of 1904, exploring the bottom of the Bay of Monterey, and in all
that time only one egg was brought up by the dredge. ..." (J. Worthington,
