Paralabrax
''Paralabrax'' is a genus of fishes in the family Serranidae. They are known commonly as rock basses.〔Pondella, D. J., et al. (2003). (The phylogeny of ''Paralabrax'' (Perciformes: Serranidae) and allied taxa inferred from partial 16S and 12S mitochondrial ribosomal DNA sequences. ) ''Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution'' 29, 176-84.〕 The nine species in the genus are native to rocky reef habitat in the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic Oceans, where they are often dominant predators in the ecosystem.〔 They are also commercially important in local fisheries.〔 ==Biology== Like many fish in the family Serranidae, some ''Paralabrax'' species are hermaphrodites, specifically protogynous hermaphrodites, which are female when young and eventually change into males. Others are gonochores, with individuals being either male or female and never changing sex. Gonochores in this genus are thought to be "secondary gonochores", species with ancestors that were hermaphrodites and lost the ability to change sex. An exception is the barred sand bass (''P. nebulifer''), which is a gonochore which has retained the ability.〔Hovey, C. B., et al. (2002). (The reproductive pattern of barred sand bass (''Paralabrax nebulifer'') from southern California. ) ''California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations Report'' 43 174-81.〕 In addition, the spotted sand bass (''P. maculatofasciatus'') appears to be flexible, with some populations made up of gonochores and some made up of hermaphroditic individuals.〔Hovey, T. E. and L. G. Allen. (2000). (Reproductive patterns of six populations of the spotted sand bass, ''Paralabrax maculatofasciatus'', from Southern and Baja California. ) ''Copeia'' 2000(2) 459-68.〕 ''Paralabrax'' species generally spawn early in summer, their larvae joining the ichthyoplankton when the water is warmest.〔Oda, D. L., et al. (1993). (Reproductive biology of three California species of ''Paralabrax'' (Pisces: Serranidae). ) ''California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations Report'' 34, 122-32.〕
