marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 825 m (Ref. 6793), usually 165 - 293 m (Ref. 27437).   Deep-water; 64°N - 24°N, 143°E - 110°W (Ref. 54884)

Distribuzione Stati | Aree FAO | Ecosystems | Presenze | Point map | Introduzioni | Faunafri

North Pacific: Honshu, Japan to Cape Navarin in the Bering Sea (but not in the Sea of Okhotsk) and La Jolla, California, and along the Aleutians from Stalemate Bank and Bowers Bank to the Alaska Peninsula. Stocks have suffered severe population decline due to overfishing (Ref. 27437).

Maturity: Lm 33.2, range 25 - 43.3 cm
Max length : 53.0 cm TL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 56527); peso massimo pubblicato: 2.1 kg (Ref. 56527); Età massima riportata: 103 anni (Ref. 93933)

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 13; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 14 - 17; Spine anali: 3; Raggi anali molli: 6 - 9; Vertebre: 26. Head spines weak - nasal, preocular, supraocular (may be absent), postocular, tympanic, parietal, and nuchal (may be absent) spines present, coronal spine absent (Ref. 27437). Long lower jaw with prominent forward directed symphyseal knob (Ref. 27437). Posterior margin of caudal indented (Ref. 6885). Bright to light red, usually with dark markings dorsally, may have some dark stippling on sides and dark blotch on caudal peduncle (Ref. 27437).

Biologia     Glossario (es. epibenthic)

Abundant in offshore waters (Ref. 2850). Young pelagic up to age 3 (Ref. 6885). Grows slowly (Ref. 2850). Viviparous (Ref. 34817). Very important commercial rockfish in the North Pacific (Ref. 2850, 27437). Marketed as fillets (Ref. 2850). Utilized fresh and frozen; eaten fried, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988).

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturities | Riproduzione | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larve

Produces young in small numbers, only about 300,000 when the fish is 20 years old.
