“…Marbled rockfish are known to be territorial, with small home ranges, and produce sounds associated with agonistic behavior (Miyagawa & Takemura, 1986; Zhang et al., 2013). Aggressive behaviors have often been observed between male and male or female and male specimens, who face each other, open their mouths, push against and then try to bite the tail or rotate to engulf the opponent's head (Ng, 2000; Zhang et al., 2013). Such altercations ended when one of the fish retreated and swam away while emitting a few calls (Miyagawa & Takemura, 1986).…”

The marine marbled rockfish Sebastiscus marmoratus is dependent on kelp beds and rocks for survival and reproduction. We found that sound production and hearing sensitivity in S. marmoratus are closely matched in the frequency domain. We also found that the juvenile rockfish prefers the habitat of the larger macroalgae Sargassum horueri rather than the habitat containing the smaller algae Ulva pertusa where the adult rockfish prefers to live. Our underwater noise recording data from these two habitats indicate that their spectra of the background noise have different values. The results suggest that the acoustic cues may be critical for pelagic larvae when selecting the preferential habitat in which to settle.

The mating system of the viviparous rockfish, Sebastiscus marmoratus was studied using aquarium mating experiments and paternity testing by DNA fingerprinting. Individually specific DNA fingerprints were produced and the paternal relationships determined with the use of the restriction enzyme HinfI and the DNA probe (CAC) 5 . Two types of mating experiments, multiple-male and singlemale, were set up to investigate the effect of male sizes on their mating success, as determined by number of females fertilized. Male size was positively and significantly related to mating success in the multiple-male situation in which male-male interaction was present, but not in the single-male situation in which no male-male interaction was involved. Females produced one to seven batches of larvae, and all batches from individual females had identical paternity. Most females were fertilized by a single male but one case of multiple paternity was detected. The laboratory study suggested the principal mating system of S. marmoratus to be promiscuity, although multiple mating by females was uncommon.
