Bergylt

Bergylt (Sebastes norvegicus), a common fish in northern seas, belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, in the great order of fishes with spinous rays (Acanthopterygii). It is somewhat like a perch in appearance, and used to be called Perca marina; no resemblance, however, can justify another of its names—the Norway Haddock. It attains a length of 2 feet or more, has a red colour, and is good for food. Though occasionally found on British coasts as far south as Berwick, its true home is farther north. The genus Sebastes includes 24 other widely-distributed species.
