More About Redfish

The Deepwater redfish (Sebastes mentella) may reach a size of 55-70 cm, but is usually less than 45 cm. It lives in comparatively high concentrations in the North Atlantic, for example in the Irminger Sea where considerable numbers are fished. It occupies depths between 300 and 1000 metres and is often pelagic, i.e. far off the bottom. The deep-sea redfish feeds on a variety of food organisms, for example small fishes. In contrast to most fishes that spawn unfertilised eggs, the deepwater redfish has internal fertilisation and spawns free-living larvae.

The eastern nannygai, redfish, red snapper, golden snapper or koarea, Centroberyx affinis, is an alfonsino of the genus Centroberyx, found around eastern and southern Australia and northern New Zealand, at depths up to 400 metres. Their length is between 30 and 40 centimetres.The eastern nannygai has spines and bony ridges over its head, and this, along with its large eyes and upturned mouth give this species a close resemblance to the roughy. The scales feel rough to the touch having coarse spines on their hind margin.The colour is a glowing golden orange on the head, body, and fins, with darker red-orange longitudinal bands along each row of scales.
