Rockfish, also known as rock cod or Pacific red snapper, are popular with seafood lovers. But some rockfishes don't breed until they're 20 years old, and they have few young-these factors make them very vulnerable to overfishing.
:Almost all the fish known as coral cod, reef cod or rock cod are also in order Perciformes. Most are better known as groupers, and belong to the family Serranidae. Others belong to the Nototheniidiae.
Yelloweye are often called red snapper, but should not be confused with the red snapper found in the Gulf of Mexico, which is a different species. Other names for yelloweye include Pacific red snapper, red rock cod, and yellow belly.
