Fish tale

A yelloweye rockfish wears bright orange and can live for more than 100 years, older than many football clubs. Some live off British Columbia, where BC Place hosted the 2015 Women's World Cup final.

Island story

On Futbol Island the yelloweye rockfish can be caught at:

  • North Point: A rocky point on the island’s north-west corner, past the DRIP FC Stadium’s north stand. Cold, clear water swirls round the rocks, where big-headed cabezon and long-lived rockfish hide.

Size on the island: 30–90 cm.
