Wolffish are known by many names, including stonebiter, devil fish, seawolf and old woman fish. Their powerful jaws allow them to eat sea urchins, sea stars, and crush mussel shells making them an important part of a healthy kelp ecosystem. Wolffish live on the sea bed and in rocky reefs from 60 to nearly 1000 meters deep in the ocean’s sunlight, twilight, and midnight zones. This sculpture uses the body of the fish to show these depths where the wolffish lives, eats, and breeds. A pair of wolffish can be seen resting in the crevices between the different levels, living among sea stars, brittle stars, sea anemones and sponges. Sometimes they’re together, sometimes they are apart. Love in the deep sea isn’t easy!
