Below Pacific Tides - Subtidal Habitats in Monterey Bay Greg Cailliet Moss Landing MLML
Greg Cailliet summarizes the marine habitats in Monterey Bay and the typical assemblages of fishes, and some invertebrates, which occupy them with a focus on the deep water column that is below most whales that occur here.
Greg Cailliet is Professor Emeritus of Biology (Ichthyology) Moss Landing Marine Laboratories & California State University, Fresno; Director Emeritus, Pacific Shark Research Center, and

He was a founding member of the Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (ESNERR) Advisory Committee and was the founding Chair of the Research Activity Panel (RAP) for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and served on the Sanctuary Advisory Committee (SAC).
For more than four decades, his graduate students have studied the ecology of marine fishes. He has specifically been primarily interested in deep-sea fishes and their ecology but also bay, estuarine bony and cartilaginous fishes. He and his graduate students have pioneered age determination, verification, and validation techniques of fishes using the growth zones in their calcified structures, along with their radio-isotopic characteristics.
