What is Alfonino?
Alfonino is a common name given by one of the three types of fish that consists of the family beryx in the Berycidae family. Three species are beryx decadactylus , beryx minlis and beryx splendens . Alfonino fish, sometimes called Alfonsin, are located in mild and tropical deep waters of the oceans around the world. These fish were dated back to the Cretaceous period, between 145 and 65 million years. Red colors are often orange on their underside. The sausages and interior of their mouths are bright red. Alfonino, which grows to a length of 24 inches (60 cm), has barbed weights, large mouths and large eyes.
The fish body is compressed. There are four dorsal spines and each is gradually longer than it before. Juvenile fish have on the heads of the spine and their second dorsal beam is extended. Theme fish tend to live in open water before they get into deep water inhabited by adult fish as they ripen. Fish achieve sexually maturity after three to four years. The hints are thatE in Alfonina's populations are women more abundant than men. Alfonino is reproduced by friction. The eggs float on top of the water and hatch after one to eight days.
Three species are similar. Beryx Decadactylus , ordinary Alfonino, is located in the oceans around the world with the exception of the Eastern Pacific. Beryx splendens , great Alfonin, growing larger than other species with lengths of more than 27 inches (69 cm). This kind of Alfonino fish is not in the waters of the Northeast Pacific.
The diet of these fish consists of crustaceans, smaller fish. And Cefalopody.ryba, which remained near the ocean during the day, travels to the middle water at night. They are the prey of other fish such as sharks and people.
Three species are commercially harvested by a trailing net that is dragged over or near the bottom of the ocean. Fish are sold under the names such as Imperador, Red Gream and Tasmanan Snapper. Fish are freezingENY and then prepared by steaming, frying or baking. beryx splendens is called kinmedai in Japanese, nizkoteliy beryx in Russian and bitgeumnundom in Korean.
