Redfish
Redfish is a common name for several species of fish. It is most commonly applied to certain deep-sea rockfish in the genus ''Sebastes'', red drum from the genus ''Sciaenops'' or the reef dwelling snappers in the genus ''Lutjanus''. It is also applied to the slimehead Slimeheads, also known as roughies and redfish, are mostly small, exceptionally long-lived, deep-sea beryciform fish constituting the family Trachichthyidae (derived from the Greek ''trachys'' – "rough" and ''ichthys'' – "fish"). Found in tem ...s or roughies (family Trachichthyidae), and the alfonsinos (Berycidae). References {{Animal common name Fish common names ...

Sebastes Fasciatus
The Acadian redfish (''Sebastes fasciatus''), also known as the Atlantic redfish, Acadian rockfish, or Labrador redfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. It is native to the deep waters of the northwestern Atlantic. Taxonomy The Acadian redfish was first formally described in 1854 by the American physician and zoologist David Humphreys Storer with the type locality given as the harbor at Provincetown, Massachusetts. The Acadian redfish has been known to hybridise with the beaked redfish (''S. mentella''). This species is classified within the subgenus ''Sebastes'' by some authorities. The specific name ''fasciatus'' means "banded", an allusion to the four clear bands on the flanks. Description The Acadian redfish is colored reddish-orange and can live up to 50 years or more and reach lengths up to . [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sebastes Mentella
''Sebastes mentella'', the beaked redfish, deepwater redfin, ocean perch, Atlantic redfish, Norway haddock, red perch, golden redfish, or hemdurganis a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae, the rockfishes, part of the family Scorpaenidae. This species is found in the North Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Sebastes mentella'' was first formally described in 1951 by the Soviet biologist Valentin Ivanovich Travin with the type locality given as the Bear Island Banks in the Barents Sea. The beaked redfish has been known to hybridise with the Acadian redfish (''S. fasciatus''). This species is classified within the subgenus ''Sebastes'' by some authorities. The specific name ''mentella'' is a diminutive of ''mentum'' which means "chin", a reference to the obvious symphyseal knob.

Sebastes
''Sebastes'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae, most of which have the common name of rockfish. A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead. They are found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Taxonomy ''Sebastes'' was first described as a genus in 1829 by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier, the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker designated ''Perca norvegica'', which may have been originally described by the Norwegian zoologist Peter Ascanius in 1772, as the type species in 1876. The genus is the type genus of both the tribe Sebastini and the subfamily Sebastinae, although some authorities treat these as the subfamily Sebastinae and the family Sebastidae, separating the Sebastidae as a distinct family from the Scorpaenidae. but other authorities place it in the Perciformes in the suborder Scorpaenoidei. Some authorities subdivide this large genus into subgenera as follows: * ''Sebastes'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sciaenops Ocellatus
The red drum (''Sciaenops ocellatus''), also known as redfish, channel bass, puppy drum, spottail bass, or simply red, is a game fish found in the Atlantic Ocean from Massachusetts to Florida and in the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to northern Mexico. It is the only species in the genus ''Sciaenops''. The red drum is related to the black drum (''Pogonias cromis''), and the two species are often found near to each other; they can interbreed and form a robust hybrid, and younger fish are often indistinguishable in flavor. Characteristics Red drum are a dark red color on the back, which fades into white on the belly. The red drum has a characteristic eyespot near the tail and is somewhat streamlined. Three-year-old red drum typically weigh 6-8 lb. The largest red drum on record weighed just over 94 lb and was caught in 1984 on Hatteras Island. Male red drum make a knocking or drumming sound during spawning by vibrating their swim bladders. The most distinguishing mark on the red dr ...

Centroberyx Affinis
The eastern nannygai (''Centroberyx affinis''), also known as the redfish, bight redfish, red snapper, golden snapper or koarea, is an alfonsino of the genus ''Centroberyx''. It is found around Australia and New Zealand at depths between on the continental shelf. It can reach lengths of up to SL. It forms schools near the sea floor over rocky reefs and mud at dawn and dusk, splitting up at night to feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and small fish. Its young live in estuaries and shallow coastal waters. Exploited commercially in New South Wales and South Australia, nannygai are considered to be excellent table fish.

Slimehead
Slimeheads, also known as roughies and redfish, are mostly small, exceptionally long-lived, deep-sea beryciform fish constituting the family Trachichthyidae (derived from the Greek ''trachys'' – "rough" and ''ichthys'' – "fish"). Found in temperate to tropical waters of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, the family comprises about 50 species in eight genera. Slimeheads are named for the network of muciferous canals riddling their heads. The larger species – namely the orange roughy (''Hoplostethus atlanticus'') and Darwin's slimehead (''Gephyroberyx darwinii'') – are the target of extensive commercial fisheries off Australia and New Zealand. Many populations have already crashed, while others are showing signs of severe overfishing; due to slimeheads' slow rate of reproduction, the future viability of these fisheries has been put into question. Orange roughies are food fish and are marketed fresh and frozen, whereas Darwin's slimeheads are used for their oil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lutjanus Sebae
''Lutjanus sebae'', also known as red emperor, emperor red snapper, emperor snapper, government bream, king snapper, queenfish or red kelp, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a snapper belonging to the family Lutjanidae. It is native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Lutjanus sebae'' was first formally described in 1816 as ''Diacope sebae'' by the French zoologist Georges Cuvier, Cuvier did not give a type locality but it is thought to be either the Coromandel Coast of India or so where in Indonesia. The specific name honours Albertus Seba, a Dutch pharmacist, zoologist and natural history collector, who published a ''Thesaurus'' of animal specimens with beautiful engravings in 1734. This included examples of marine life from the Indo-Pacific, including an illustration of the emperor red snapper.
