Did you know that the beautiful, endangered black sea bass in our Monterey Bay Habitats exhibit get routine freshwater baths and health checkups? The largest of the three weighs 202 pounds. These amazing fish can reach 500 pounds but are so gentle they like to have their chins scratched by our divers!
The giant sea bass is on the “Red List” of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Establishing Marine Protected Areas can help save the black sea bass.
