Info
Sebastes flavidus is a cold-water fish, therefore not suitable for tropical home aquaria, but it is shown in some large public display aquaria.
The perch forms schools in open water along steeply sloping banks or over rocky reefs; also appears in cracks and crevices of the seabed, while juveniles are observed near floats and pilings.
Parasites:
Scientists from the Canadian Journal of Zoology have determined that the yellowtail sea bass is infested with 25 different parasites!
The yellowtail sea bass is fished commercially, filleted and then sold fresh or frozen together with other rockfish, and sport anglers also enjoy fishing success with this powerful fish.
