The Asian sheepshead wrasse is from the Labridae family of fish and is typically found in China, North Korea, South Korea, and here in Niligata, Japan. Wrasses typically have jutting, thick lips and a unique jaw structure with portruding 'foreheads' and 'chins.' The Asian sheepshead is among the largest of the wrasses and feeds on shellfish and crustaceans.
