striped beakfish
A species of marine fish (Oplegnathus fasciatus) found in rocky coastal waters of Japan. Often seen in aquariums and as a food fish.
The striped beakfish is popular as a target for shore fishing.
I saw a school of striped beakfish at the aquarium.
Katakana spelling is standard for this fish name.
Kanji spelling; the fish is usually written in kana, so this form is less common.
The name イシダイ (石鯛) literally means 'stone sea bream,' referring to its habitat among rocks and its resemblance to sea bream.
