Lifting behavior may be rare among the Agonidae and is possibly limited to the genus Hypsagonus, since long-term personal observations of captive agonids in eight other genera (Agonopsis, Ocella, Odontopyxis, Bothragonus, Xeneretmus, Agonus, Pallasina, and Anaplagonus) have not revealed any similar behaviors.

Nonrockfish species were represented primarily by six species, which comprised 17.2% of the total abundance: Microstomus pacificus, Ophiodon elongatus, Sebastolobus alascanus, Eptatretus stouti, Merluccius productus, and an unidentified species (or possibly a complex of species) in the family Agonidae (most likely Xeneretmus spp.).
