The greenstriped rockfish (*Sebastes elongatus*) is a medium-sized, deepwater species found along the North Pacific coast, recognized by its elongated body and distinctive greenish-yellow stripes. This species inhabits rocky bottoms and continental shelf slopes, ranging from Alaska to California. The primary countries harvesting greenstriped rockfish are the United States and Canada, with the majority of commercial landings occurring in Alaska and British Columbia. The fishing industry targets greenstriped rockfish as part of mixed-species groundfish trawl fisheries, where they are valued for their mild, white flesh. Sustainable management practices, such as catch limits and habitat protections, are implemented by both countries to ensure the long-term health of greenstriped rockfish populations and the broader marine ecosystem.
