Kelp greenling

Kelp greenling (Hexagrammos decagrammus)

Also known as Tommy cod, speckled sea trout, greenling sea trout, the female Kelp greenling reaches 24 in (61 cm), 4.6 lb (2.1 kg), males are smaller. Kelp greenlings are caught as bycatch in hook and line fisheries for live rockfishes, and have achieved their own localized market demand in Asian communities in Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. Little potential exists for overharvest by sport anglers unless using small tackle, owing to small mouth size.
