The Family Hexagrammidae, also known as the Greenlings, is a group of marine fishes found predominantly in the Pacific Ocean and characterized by their greenish coloration. Some synonyms used for the Family Hexagrammidae include the Hexagrammids, the Greenling family, and the Hexagrammid fishes. The Greenlings are known for their distinctive body shape, which resembles a long, slender tube with a pointed snout and large eyes. They are typically bottom-dwellers and can be found in rocky reefs, kelp forests, and other marine habitats. Despite their common name, not all Greenlings are green in color, and some species may be gray, brown, or even orange.
