While there are several species of rockfish, our company mainly deals with Pacific Ocean Perch, Yellowmouth Rockfish, and Redstripe Rockfish. Pacific ocean perch dominates the rockfish catch in Canada's Pacific groundfish trawl fishery. This long-lived species, commonly called POP, inhabits the sloping walls of marine canyons along the coast of British Columbia in association with many other rockfish species. POP have short, laterally compressed body and large mouth with a protruding lower jaw, bright red skin color mixed with blotches of olive. Yellowmouth rockfish is the second most abundant slope rockfish of the species. Yellowmouth rockfish have red mixed with yellow to orange skin color, and a short, stocky body with sloping forehead and a large head. There is a thin pink-red strip along the lateral line and 3 dark bands across the head. Their mouth is pinkish white with yellow and black blotches. Redstripe rockfish and POP share many physical features. The difference is that redstripe rock have a lateral line that forms a clear and distinct stripe that usually appears pink or red.
