Description

The Roosterfish (Nematistius pectoralis) belong to the fish family Mematistiidae inhabiting the East Pacific oceans, starting from Baja in California to Peru. The fish is a popular saltwater game fish because of its deep hard fight. They are identified by the arrangement of their ears and a swim bladder used to amplify sound and body covered in bluish-gray color.

It gets its name from its seven elongated dorsal fin spines. The base of their pectoral fin has a dark spot. Roosterfish love near-shore areas, reefs, and sandy in-shore waters and can be hunted using fly-fishing, live baits, and even spinners.
