Ayamekasago - Ayamekasago (English spelling) yellowbarred red rockfish

Japanese: アヤメカサゴ - あやめかさご(英語表記)yellowbarred red rockfish
Ayamekasago - Ayamekasago (English spelling) yellowbarred red rockfish

A marine fish of the order Scorpaeniformes and family Scorpaenidae of the class Osteichthyes. It is found throughout Japan south of Chiba and Niigata prefectures, as well as in the East China Sea, the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the coastal waters of Hong Kong. It reaches a total length of 25 centimeters. At first glance it resembles a rockfish, but it can be distinguished by the presence of a spine on the lower edge of the eye socket, the usual 17 pectoral fin rays, and yellowish worm-eaten spots on the sides of its body. It lives in rocky areas at depths of 30 to 100 meters and is caught by longline and fishing. It produces larvae in early spring. It is boiled, grilled with salt, teriyaki, and fried, but the taste is inferior to that of a rockfish.

Japanese:

硬骨魚綱カサゴ目フサカサゴ科に属する海水魚。千葉県と新潟県以南の日本各地および東シナ海、朝鮮半島南部、香港(ホンコン)の沿岸海域に分布する。全長25センチメートルに達する。一見カサゴに似るが、眼窩(がんか)の下縁に1棘(きょく)があること、胸びれ条は通常17本であること、体側に黄色みがかった虫食い状の斑紋(はんもん)があることなどで区別される。水深30~100メートルの岩礁域にすみ、延縄(はえなわ)、釣りで漁獲される。春先に仔魚(しぎょ)を産む。煮つけ、塩焼き、照り焼き、から揚げなどにするが、味はカサゴより劣る。
