Great northern tilefish
The great northern tilefish (''Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps''), or golden tile, is the largest species in the family Malacanthidae (tilefishes), which grows to an average length between . The great northern tilefish is a slow-growing and long-lived species, which has four stages of life. After hatching from eggs, the larvae will be found in plankton. As they grow into juveniles, the individuals will seek shelter until finding or making their own burrows. As adults, the tilefish will continue to expand its burrow in the sediment throughout its life. The diet of the larvae is unknown, but presumed to consist of zooplankton; juveniles and adults feed upon various benthic invertebrates, crustaceans and fish. After reaching sexual maturity between 5 and 7 years of age, females will lay eggs throughout the mating season for the male to fertilize, with each female laying an average of 2.3 million eggs.
The great northern tilefish has been subject to regulation to prevent overfishing. Regulations include catch limits and gear restrictions to prevent damage to the species' habitat and population. The result of these regulations has seen a rebounding of the population, which led to an increase in the 2012 catch limit in the southern part of the Atlantic seaboard.
==Taxonomy and naming==
The species was first discovered in 1879, when a cod trawler caught some by chance while working off of the coast of Massachusetts.〔Goodwin, G; Bogert, C M; Gilliard, E; Coates, C W; "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Animal Life", Odham Books, 1961. Vol. 13, pp. 1539–1540.〕 The species was named ''Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps'' by George Brown Goode and Tarleton Hoffman Bean in 1896 in their seminal work ''Oceanic Ichthyology, A Treatise on the Deep-Sea and Pelagic Fishes of the World'', from a sample collected south east of Nomans Land, Massachusetts.〔Goode, G. B.; Bean, T. H. (1896) Oceanic Ichthyology, A Treatise on the Deep-Sea and Pelagic Fishes of the World, Based Chiefly upon the Collections Made by the Steamers Blake, Albatross, and Fish Hawk in the Northwestern Atlantic, caption for Pl. LXXV. 265. Retrieved from the (NOAA Photographic Library ), July 24, 2007〕 Its genus is ''Lopholatilus'', which itself is in the family Malacanthidae, commonly known as tilefish. The Malacanthidae are part of the Percoidea, a suborder of the order Perciformes.〔Myers, P.; Espinosa, R.; Parr, C. S.; Jones, T.; Hammond, G. S.; Dewey, T. A. (2006). The Animal Diversity Web (online). Accessed July 24, 2007 at (Animal Diversity website )〕 ''L. chamaeleonticeps'' gained its moniker "great northern tilefish" from its prodigious size and its discovery at relatively high latitudes for a member of Malacanthidae. When used in cooking, the species is generally referred to as the "golden tile", for the large yellow spots across its blue-green back and lighter-yellow or pink sides.〔 The species is distinguished from other members of their large family by a prominent crest on their head.〔
