everything about the greenstriped rockfish
how to recognize it
Greenstriped rockfish, pink to yellowish, with three or four horizontal green stripes on the body and green streaks on the membranes of the caudal fin. The underside is pale, and the body is slender. Compare it with the shortbelly rockfish, which is greenish pink and reaches 32 cm, and with the silvergray rockfish, which is silvery grey, has a projecting lower jaw and reaches 71 cm.
Also called: garoupa-listrada-verde, rocote reina, greenstriped rockfish

where found
open on the large mapWhere to look: Rocky and sandy bottoms, 25 to 425 m, most common between 91 and 366 m, in coastal and open-sea areas.
Lives in the northeast Pacific, from Chirikof Island, Gulf of Alaska, to Cedros Island, Baja California, Mexico. In Latin America, it occurs only in Mexico.
rules for the greenstriped rockfish
Rules change; before keeping or transporting fish, check with the state environmental agency.
We found no species-specific rule beyond the region's general rules.

how we calculate
Length-weight relationship W = a·Lb (a = 0.01, b = 3.09; FishBase (relação peso-comprimento bayesiana, estimativa pelo gênero e formato do corpo)). It's an average: a fat or lean fish can vary by 10% to 20%.
more about the greenstriped rockfish
Rockfish of the family Sebastidae, genus Sebastes, slender-bodied, living in coastal and open-sea areas of the North Pacific, over rocky and sandy bottoms, 25 to 425 m deep. It grows to 39 cm and up to 630 g. It is viviparous. It is seldom caught on rod and reel, but it is an excellent bait for large fish. Only the largest specimens are made into fillets for eating. Its flesh tastes very good.
Family: Sebastidae · predator
fun facts
- Individuals 54 years old have been recorded.
in the kitchen
Only the largest specimens are filleted for eating, and the smaller ones go to fishmeal.

Essential profile: size, length-weight, depth, countries and conservation come from FishBase and the cited regulations, and the texts were written from those sources. Season, time of day, sensitivities, technique and baits and lures are not included yet, because we did not find a good source for this species.

how we calculatewhere each number comes from
The weather comes from three independent global models, cross-checked hour by hour: when they agree, confidence goes up; when they diverge, the band between them shows on the chart. Beyond 16 days, we use the GEFS ensemble of 31 simulations: if 20 of the 31 predict rain, the chance of rain is 65%. Sun and moon are calculated astronomically, with no uncertainty.
The index adds up, weighted for each species: time of day (species curve anchored to real sunrise and sunset), moon (transits, rise and set, phase), pressure (3 h trend and 24 h swing), water temperature (in rivers, estimated from air temperature; at sea, estimated by an ocean model), wind, rain, clouds, tide and the month in the species' cycle.

how accurate the forecast is
Accuracy measured in the reference project (4 regions, 93 days, forecast vs. observed): maximum temperature is off by 0.6 °C on average the next day and 1.7 °C at 7 days; rain of 5 mm or more is detected 76% of the time the next day and 57% at 7 days. Detection isn't everything: the false alarm rate isn't published here yet, and 93 days in 4 regions is still a small sample. We now also measure every day, at the app's destinations:
