Description
The Blue Warehou (Seriolella violacea) is a large, pelagic marine fish native to the temperate waters of the Southern Hemisphere. This predatory species feeds on zooplankton, small fish, and crustaceans. Due to its substantial size and specific environmental requirements, it is not suitable for typical home aquariums and is primarily a commercial food fish.
