Lings, cabs, rockies...

I need to clarify this - rockfish, lings, and cabs are all open until December 1st at which point...what is protected? And while diving what be taken? I know this is confusing, and the DFG probably designs it this way, but I need a clarification...
 Thanks,

Here is a link to the in season changes. Lings...through November. Rockfish...through December.
