Redbanded rockfish In 1995, 280 tons were caught by longline off British Columbia. Often, though, this fish is taken as bycatch during trawling operations targeting other species, such as the yelloweye rockfish ("S. ruberrimus") and halibut ("Hippoglossus stenolepis").

The Flat Islands were mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936-1937) and the name Flatøyholmane (the flat island islets) was applied
