The Canary Rockfish (Sebastes pinniger) lives on the rocky reefs of the Salish Sea. It eats crustaceans and small fish and can live for a very long time! Because they reach sexual maturity at around 15 years of age, rockfish, usually marketed as snapper, are threatened by overfishing.

Welcome to the 12 days of fish-mas gallery!

At Christmas time in 2013 I made this gallery while working at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre!

Every day for twelve days we will be posted new marine creature with a photo and description!
It's like an advent calendar filled with fish, crabs and strange creatures beyond your wildest dreams!...
Okay, well that doesn't sound that appealing, but I'm sure you'll love all the photos that we took while volunteering at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre! Enjoy!
