Rougheye rockfish

The Rougheye rockfish is a rockfish of the genus Sebastes. It grows up to 97 cm (38 in) in length, and the maximum published weight is 900 g (2 lb). Similar to the other members of its genus, it is extremely long-lived, and the maximum reported age is 140 years.[1] The average age is 20.5 years.[3][not in citation given] This fish has actually been reported by NOAA to live 205 years.[4]

Rockfish are deepwater fish, and exist between 31° and 66° latitude, in the North Pacific, and specifically along Japan to the Navarin Canyon in the Bering Sea, to the Aleutian Islands, all the way south to San Diego, California, at depths of between 25 m (82 ft) and 900 m (2,953 ft).[1]
