The Acadian redfish feeds on a variety of crustaceans, mollusks, and smaller fish. [9] It spawns in the fall to late winter. The species is ovoviviparous, and females release 15,000–20,000 fully formed larvae into the water per season. [10] The Acadian redfish is preyed on by the halibut, the Atlantic cod, swordfishes and harbor seals. [2]
Redfish is a common name for several species of fish. [1] It is most commonly applied to certain deep-sea rockfish in the genus Sebastes, red drum from the genus Sciaenops or the reef dwelling snappers in the genus Lutjanus. It is also applied to the slimeheads or roughies (family Trachichthyidae), and the alfonsinos (Berycidae).
Sebastes is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the subfamily Sebastinae part of the family Scorpaenidae, most of which have the common name of rockfish.A few are called ocean perch, sea perch or redfish instead.
Acadian history was shaped by six colonial wars during the 17th and 18th centuries, culminating in the French and Indian War. This conflict led to the British Expulsion of the Acadians, forcing many into hiding or exile. Some returned to Acadia post-war, while others settled in France or migrated to Louisiana, where they became known as Cajuns. [2]

Sebastes miniatus has a rather stocky body shape with the depth of the body being equivalent to just under two fifths of its standard length. [5] It has moderately robust to weak spines on its head, the nasal, preocular, supraocular, postocular, tympanic and parietal spines being always present, the nuchal spine usually being absent and the coronal spine never being present. [1]
The species was actually described by both Ayres and Girard in the same year, with Girard naming the species S. fasciatus, but it was thought that that name had already been used for the Acadian redfish by David Humphreys Storer and thus Ayres' choice prevailed.
