The Yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) is a rockfish of the genus Sebastes, and one of the biggest members of the genus. Its name derieves from its coloration. It is also known as the "red snapper." As they grow older, they change in color, from reddish in youngness, to bright orange in adulthood, to pale yellow in old age. Yelloweye live in rocky areas and feed on small fish and other rockfish. They reside in the East Pacific and range from Baja California to Prince William Sound in Alaska.
Tiger rockfish are also known as the "black-banded rockfish". "Sebastes" means "magnificent", and "nigrocinctus" means "black" and "girdle" in Latin.
