Your daily fish #76

Greenling - Ophiodon elongatus

Their flesh is blue!

Aka: lingcod, or molva in México.

Around 20% have blue flesh due to high levels of biliverdin in it, most of them are brown but some are extremely blue!

Their maximum lenght recorded is 152 cm and you can find them in the coasts of BC up to alaska!

They eat fish, fish eggs, plankton and molusks.

THEIR FLESH IS BLUE!!!

I wonder what they taste like!

Wooo i finished a ref sheet for my fishy boyfriend ! Info under the cut

His name is Echo. He/they prns

Doesnt understand human gender

Fish demon. Still figuring out his backstory, but he and I met on the Oregon coast (near where goonies was filmed!)

Almost 7 feet tall. Muscly but in a wiry sort of way

Has characteristics similar to a lingcod

But he's amphibious because i said so

Has piercings.. saw humans with them and thought it was cool so he pierced himself with random shit he found on the beach

Hes kind of an asshole. Very cocky with a big ego. Often sarcastic and insincere and hates talking about his feelings

Shows his true feelings through his actions

HATES being ignored. Will grumble and bitch if they feel like they havent gotten enough attention

Favorite food: crab. Raw or cooked, he doesnt care

Umm that's all ive got so far :] anyway i love him

Daily fish fact #848

Ophiodon ozymandias!

It was a species of lingcod that lived in the late Miocene, over 5 million years ago. Fossil evidence suggests it could’ve grown to be 180 cm long (6 feet), which is even 30 cm (~1 foot) longer than the currently extant lingcod!

Pictured above is said extant lingcod.
