features
Sebastes species appear harsh and have a stocky, laterally flattened trunk with a large head and mouth. The head is usually provided with bony ridges and spikes. The gill cover is usually equipped with five thorns. Most species are 30 to 60 cm long, the largest reach a length of about one meter. Sebastes species are often reddish or differently colored with colorful stripes and spots. Many species can be distinguished by their color. The hard and soft rayed part of the dorsal fin has grown together. An indentation separates the front section with hard rays from the rear, which is supported by a spike and subsequent soft rays. The caudal fin is rounded, straight or is slightly indented. The pelvic fins are rounded or wedge-shaped.
- Fin formula : dorsal XII-XV / 9–16, anal 3 / 5–9.
Way of life
Sebastes species are predatory fish and occur in rocky areas (English Bez. "Rockfish"), kelp and kelp forests. They have internal fertilization and are viviparous.
