Deep Sea Fish

This is a list of fish that are measured as suited for human consumption. This list is basically a copy of list of fish common names where the most perceptibly inedible species are removed. Of course some of the aloof species can be eaten, but the species here are recurrently caught or farmed to be sold as food. 99% of fish are edible.

Anchovies

The anchovies are a family (Engraulidae) of tiny, common salt-water fish. The anchovy is a small green fish with blue reflections because of a silver longitudinal hoop that runs from the bottom of the caudal fin. It is a maximum of nine inches (~23 cm) in length and body shape is changeable with more slender fish in northern populations. The nose is blunt with small, sharp teeth in both chops. The mouth is larger than that of herrings and silversides, two fish which anchovies closely resemble. The anchovy eats plankton and fry (recently-hatched fish).

Bass

Bass is a name communal by many different species of popular gamefish. The term includes both freshwater and marine species, many of which are native to North America and surrounding waters. All belong to the large order Perciformes, or perch-like fishes, and in truth the word bass comes from Middle English bars, meaning "perch".

The One type of Bass is temperate basses, such as the striped bass and white bass .belonging to the family Moronidae.Next type is,The black basses, such as the largemouth bass, smallmouth bass , spotted bass , and Guadalupe bass, belonging to the sunfish family, Centrarchidae.

Black cod/Sablefish

Sablefish Sea FoodsThe sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, is one of two members of the fish family Anoplopomatidae and the only class in the Anoplopoma genus. In English it is also called sable (USA), butterfish (USA/Australia), black cod (UK, Canada), blue cod (UK), bluefish (UK), candlefish (UK), coal cod (UK), and coalfish (Canada), while many of these names also pass on to other genus.

Bream

Bream Sea FoodsBream is a universal sound for a number of species of freshwater and marine fish belonging to a range of genera including: Abramis (e.g. A. brama, the carp bream); Acanthopagrus; Argyrops; Blicca; Brama; Etelis; Lepomis; Gymnocranius; Lethrinus; Nemipterus; Rhabdosargus and Scolopsis.

Even though genus from all of these genera is called "bream", the term does not involve a grade of relatedness between these species. Fish termed "bream" tend to be narrow, deep bodied species. The name is a root of the Middle English word breme, of Old French origin.

Catfish

Catfish Sea FoodsCatfish (order Siluriformes) are a very various group of lean fish. Named for their important barbels, which remind you of a cat's whiskers, catfish collection in size and activities from the heaviest, the Mekong huge catfish from Southeast Asia and the best, the wels catfish of Eurasia, to detritivores (species that eat dead material on the bottom), and even to a little parasitic species frequently called the candiru, Vandellia cirrhosa. There are armour-plated types and also exposed types, neither having balance. in spite of their common name, not all catfish have prominent barbels; what defines a fish as being in the order Siluriformes are in fact certain features of the skull and swimbladder. Catfish are of substantial profit-making importance; many of the larger species are farmed or fished for food. Many of the smaller species, principally the genus Corydoras, are important in the aquarium relaxation.

Dogfish

Dogfish Sea FoodsDogfish is a name applied to a number of small sharks established in the northeast Atlantic, Pacific, and Mediterranean, particularly to those in the three families Scyliorhinidae, Dalatiidae and Squalidae. Even though often used in reference to Scyliorhinus canicula, the name is applied only freely and does not typically imply a close taxonomic relationship.

Eel

Eel Sea FoodsThe smooth and transparent worm of the eel is called a leptocephalus. A babyish eel is called an elver.Most eels prefer to dwell in shallow waters or hide at the bottom layer of the ocean, sometimes in holes. These holes are called eel pits. Solitary the Anguillidae folks come to fresh water to reside there (not to breed). Some eels dwell in deep water (in case of family Synaphobranchidae, this comes to a deepness of 4,000 metres (13,000 ft), or are dynamic swimmers (the family Nemichthyidae - to the depth of 500 metres (1,600 ft).

Flounder

Flounder Sea FoodsFlounder or fluke is flatfish that live in ocean waters ie., Northern Atlantic and waters beside the east coastline of the United States and Canada, and the Pacific Ocean, as well. The name "flounder" refers to several geologically and taxonomically separate species. In Europe, the name flounder refers to Platichthys flesus, in the Western Atlantic there are the summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus, southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma, and the winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus, among other species. In Japan, the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus is common.While flounders have both eyes situated on one side of the head, they are not born this way. Their life involves alteration. During metamorphosis, one eye migrates to the other side of the body so that mutually eyes are situated on the upward-facing side of its body. After metamorphosis, flounder lie on one side on the ocean floor; either the left or right side might face upward depending on the species.

Groupers

Groupers Sea FoodsGroupers are fish of any of a number of genus in the subfamily Epinephelinae of the family Serranidae, in the order Perciformes.Not all serranids are called groupers; the family also includes the sea basses. The familiar name grouper is habitually given to fish in one of two big genera: Epinephelus and Mycteroperca. In totaling, the species confidential in the miniature genera Anyperidon, Cromileptes, Dermatolepis, Gracila, Saloptia and Triso are also called groupers. Fish classified in the genus Plectropomus are referred to as coral groupers. These genus are all off the record in the subfamily Epiphelinae. However, some of the hamlets (genus Alphestes), the hinds (genus Cephalopholis), the lyretails (genus Variola) and some further little genus (Gonioplectrus, Niphon, Paranthias) are also in this subfamily, and sporadic species in other serranid genera have frequent names involving the word "grouper". Nonetheless, the word "groupers" on its own is usually taken as denotation the subfamily Epinephelinae.

The word "grouper" comes from the word for the fish, most widely invented to be from the Portuguese name, garoupa. The origin of this name in Portuguese is supposed to be from an indigenous South American language.

Haddock

Haddock Sea FoodsThe haddock or offshore hake is a marine fish dispersed on both sides of the North Atlantic. Haddock is a fashionable food fish, broadly fished commercially.The haddock is simply accepted by a black lateral line successively along its white side (not to be bewildered with pollock which has the reverse, ie white line on black side) and a distinct dark splotch above the pectoral fin, often described as a "thumbprint" or even the "Devil's thumbprint" .

Haddock is most normally established at depths of 40 to 133 m, but has a range as deep as 300 m. It flourishes in temperatures of 2° to 10°C (36° to 50°F). Juveniles rather shallower waters and larger adults deeper water. Generally, adult haddock do not engage in stretched migratory behavior as do the younger fish, but seasonal arrangements have been known to occur across all ages. Haddock feed primarily on small invertebrates, even if larger members of the genus may infrequently use fish.
