Noms alternatifs : Sebastes
Rockfish is a term used to describe several species of fish in the genus Sebastes. The term refers to their tendency to hide among rocks. Some rockfish are amongst the longest-living fish on Earth. Most of them live in the north Pacific, but two species (S. capensis and S. oculatus) inhabit the South Pacific/Atlantic Oceans and four (S. fasciatus, S. mentella, S. norvegicus, and S. viviparus) are found in the North Atlantic.
