Anoplopomatidae
The sablefishes are a family, Anoplopomatidae, of scorpaeniform fishes. They are found in coastal waters of the north Pacific from Japan to California, where they live near the sea floor in deep water: the sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, has been found down to 1,830 metres (6,000 ft). They are large fish, with the skilfish being up to 180 centimetres (5.9 ft) in length.[1] They are commercially important fishes, and are often given the market name blackcod.
Species
There are two species in two genera:
- Genus Anoplopoma
- Sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria (Pallas, 1814).
- Genus Erilepis
- Skilfish, Erilepis zonifer (Lockington, 1880).
