Yellowtail Seaperch, Sebastes flavidus

Yellowtail Rockfish

Yellowtail Rockfish are found from San Quintin, Baja California, to Kodiak Island, Alaska. This fish can be commonly found over deep reefs from the surface to depths of 549 m (1,801 ft). The juveniles are often found around floats and pilings. Adult Yellowtail Rockfish feed on shellfish, such as shrimp, and small forage fish, such as anchovies. A unique feature of this species is that it can release gas from its swimbladder. This means that when they are caught in deep water they are able to avoid barotrauma that would be fatal to other species of fish. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowtail_rockfish
