The Monterey Bay Aquarium recently welcomed a new Giant Sea Bass (Stereolepis gigas<\/em>) to\u00a0their Kelp Gardens exhibit. Unlike its name, this new addition isn't so giant - barely 4 inches long!<\/p>\n

\"Juvenile<\/p>\n

Giant sea bass are found along the west coast from Humboldt Bay to Baja California, Mexico and can reach up to 8 feet long. While rarely seen\u00a0in the Monterey Bay, they are recovering from overfishing and are being seen more in southern California.\u00a0The aquarium also has a sub-adult in the Kelp Forest tank, and two adults in their Monterey Bay Habitat exhibit. You can see more of this little one here<\/a> or head to the aquarium yourself!<\/p>\n

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is free<\/a> for residents of Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties through Dec. 13th, so go check out the new arrivals and old favorites!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
