Giant Kelpfish


Giant Kelpfish
: Heterosticbus rostratus

24 in long. Feed on small crustaceans, mollusks, and fish.  Occasionally caught by anglers but seldom retained, they are probably more familiar to scuba dives.  there are four other species of Kelpfish in our seas belonging to the genus Gibbonsia.  They are difficult to identify to a species.
