The California corbina (Menticirrhus undulatus), or California kingcroaker, is marine demersal fish in the croaker family. It can often be found along sandy beaches and in shallow bays .

They are sold live at many Asian fish markets in California. Historically, the Sacramento blackfish fishery comprised a majority of the commercial freshwater fishery supply in California. In 1960, Blackfish were valued at nearly $33,000, or 59% of the total value of all freshwater fish from California.

The California sheephead is considered vulnerable due to high fishing rates off of the coast of southern California. Since fisheries tend to remove the largest fish, they end up removing the males. This skews the male-to-female ratio and affects the fishes' lifecycle, which can negatively affect populations. [6] [7]
California flying fish live in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, ranging from Oregon to Baja California. The mean sea surface temperature is the largest factor in determining where flying fish live. Their flight is energetically limited by water temperature, so their population richness is limited to southern California and Baja California waters.
