Black Rockfish Sebastes melanops
Black Rockfish range from Amchitka Island (in the Aleutian Islands) and
Kodiak Island, Alaska, to northern Baja, California. They have been
found at water depths up to 366 m (1,200 ft), but are most commonly
found in waters shallower than 73 m (240 ft). Black Rockfish can grow up
to 69 cm (27.6 in) in length, and 6 kg (13.3 lbs) in weight. Maximum
age is at least 56 years old. (WDFW)
