Etymology
鱸 combines 魚 (fish) with 盧, which likely contributes the sound ロ. The character was created to name the sea bass specifically.
Meaning mnemonic
The left side 魚 means fish, and the right side 盧 looks like a complex net or trap. Picture a sea bass caught in a fisherman's net: 鱸 is the sea bass.
Reading mnemonic
For ロ, imagine a sea bass leaping out of the water and making a low 'ro' sound as it splashes back: ro -> ロ.
