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]

The Acadians are descendants of 17th and 18th-century French settlers from southwestern France, primarily in the region historically known as Occitania. [1] They established communities in Acadia, a northeastern area of North America, encompassing present-day Canadian Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island), parts of Québec, and southern Maine.
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.
