Yelloweye rockfish [AK Fish&Game] |
Yelloweye rockfish Sebastes ruberrimus
Yelloweye rockfish are among the longest lived of rockfishes, with
maximum age reported to be up to 150 years. This species also is very
slow growing and late to mature. Although conservation measures like
fishing bans have been put in place in Puget Sound, recovery from
threats such as past overfishing and continued bycatch will take many
years due to the life history of yelloweye rockfish. The Puget
Sound/Georgia Basin distinct population segment (DPS) in Washington
State is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. (NOAA)
