California Sheephead
: Semicossypbus pulcber
3 feet long. Adult
California Sheepheads are female until they are 7 or 8 years old,
when the ovaries become testes; fishes then function as males for
the rest of their lives. California Sheepheads spawn in spring and
summer and feed on crustaceans, echinoderms, and mollusks.
