tilefish
Tilefish are a variety of moderately sized, brightly colored fish which are usually found in warmer, deep-water environments. These fish are characterized by their elongated bodies, prominent dorsal fins and large scales which often resemble tiles, hence the name. They are typically bottom dwellers, burrowing into the sand or mud to form caves, and are known for their vivid pigments and flavorsome flesh, making them popular for commercial fishing and aquariums. The most well-known varieties include the golden tilefish and the blue tilefish.

Tilefish
Tilefishes, also known as blanquillo, are mostly small perciform marine fish comprising the family Malacanthidae. They are usually found in sandy areas, especially near coral reefs. Commercial fisheries exist for the largest species, making them important food fish. However, the American Food and Drug Administration warns pregnant or breastfeeding women against eating tilefish and some other fish due to mercury contamination. The smaller, exceptionally colorful species of tilefish are enjoyed in the aquarium. Due to their low fecundities, commercially important species are threatened by overfishing via long-line and bottom trawling methods.
