| It has to be native to the Pacific ocean as it was at the Sealife Center in Seward Alaska - and everything there is from here. I just didn't get the name of this fish as I took a fast shot as they were about to close. The fish size was big - probably a bit bigger than a football |

if you look on the Sealife Centre's web site, it will probably have a list of it's fish - if not e-mail then the photo.
I bet they could tell you :- ) |

I would go out on a limb and say it is a red oscar. looks like the fish may be a touch distorted though - perhaps from the glass.

It would help to know how big it is. It basically looks like a grouper of some sort to me. And I have caught a LOT of grouper in my day...

ETA: I can't find any truly head-on grouper photos on the web, though this one is close:

| This fish is a Wrinkle Neck. They hang around Cruise Ships looking up at the overboard discharge pipes waiting for their dinner. |
