blackbelly rosefish

Until end of August.

Description :
Blackbelly rosefish is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae which is classified within the family Scorpaenidae. This Atlantic species is a typical sit-and-wait predator with a highly cryptic coloration. The specific name is a compound of dactylos which means "finger" and pterus meaning "finned", an allusion to the lower rays of the pectoral fin, which have tendril-like tips which extend beyond the fin membrane.

Habitat :
They have been recorded at depths between 50 and 1,100 m (160 and 3,610 ft), but usually from 150 to 600 m.
