Quillback Rockfish – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Quillback Rockfish:
The Quillback Rockfish (also called the Quillback seaperch) is one of 130 species of rockfish and primarily dwells in salt water reefs. The average adult weighs 2-7 pounds (0.9 – 3 kg) and may reach 1 m (3 feet) in length. Quillback rockfish are named for the sharp, venomous quills or spines on the dorsal fin. Their mottled orange-brown coloring allows them to blend in with rocky bottom reefs. Quillback rockfish eat mainly crustaceans, but they will also eat herring. They are solitary and minimally migratory, but not territorial, and give birth to live young (viviparous). They are a popular sport fish, generally caught in cold water 41–60 m deep, but also to subtidal depths of 275 m.

Artist’s notes:
The Quillback Rockfish was completed on 6.18.2016. Living so close to the coastline of California, I have a particular fondness for the ocean life native to the kelp forest. The rockfish have always been fascinating to me. While there are so many of them, I hope to one day draw all extant species. The drawing is based on a photo by Ron DeCloux and was used with permission.
