Croakers: Family Sciaenidae
Species: Cheilotrema saturnum (Girard, 1858); from the Greek word cheilotrema (lip pores) and the Latin word saturnum (dusky color).
Alternate Names: China croaker, Chinese croaker, Chinafin croaker and red roncador. Early names included black perch and black bass. Given the references to China croaker, it is called 黑唇孔石首魚 in Mandarin Chinese. In Mexico it’s called corvina roncacho or corvinata negra.
Identification: A very deep-bodied croaker that is recognized by the black edge on the upper opercle (gill cover) and the dark black-purple coloration. They usually have a pale bar at midbody. However, adults seem able to change color patterns dependent upon the environment. In open water, over sandy bottoms, they may be somewhat tan in color while over rippled sand they can assume a striped pattern. Large adults, black in color, move into dark caves, crevices and grottos where they can be almost invisible. Juveniles may be yellow-white with several black horizontal bands on the upper portion of the body (and closely resemble juvenile sargo and salema). They have a blunt snout and the upper jaw projects over the lower jaw.
Size: Up to 17.7 inches although most caught from piers are less than 12 inches long. A 14-inch fish weighed 1 pound 9 ounces, and was 20 to 21 years old. The listed IGFA World Record fish weighed 1 Lb 0 oz and was taken in Long Beach, CA in 2013.
Range: Gulf of California and Bahia Magdalena, southern Baja California, to Point Conception, California. Common from Bahia Magdalena, southern Baja California, to southern California.
Habitat: Young like shallow-water areas with sandy bottoms, and are found along the open coast and in bays; adults are found in both sandy and rocky areas. Recorded down to a depth of 328 feet but generally found in waters from 10 to 50 feet deep. Feeds primarily on rock dwelling crabs such as lumpy crabs, young masking crabs (spider crabs), and red-rock shrimp.
Piers: Black croaker are found at most southern California piers but are rarely caught; they are very shy and hide in caves and crevices most of the day. By the time they come out at night to move around and feed, there are less anglers around to catch them. Best bets: Embarcadero Marina Park Pier, Shelter Island Pier, Oceanside Harbor Pier, San Clemente Pier, Seal Beach Pier, Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, Hermosa Beach Pier, and the Santa Monica Pier.
Shoreline: An infrequent catch by shore anglers in southern California.
Boats: A few are taken by boaters fishing the southern California bays.
Bait and Tackle: Similar to most other croakers; use a high/low leader with number 6 to 4 hooks. Bait with sand crabs, clams, fresh mussels, ghost shrimp, shrimp, bloodworms, or innkeeper worms. The best area for black croakers is from the surf area to midway out on a pier.
Food Value: Similar to yellowfin croaker in taste and texture: mild-flavored with small flakes, a soft texture, and low fat content. Eat only a limited amount in areas that are known to be polluted—and check for warning signs.
Comments: Black croaker are the least commonly caught croaker. It is reported that young black croaker, along with sargo and salema, lead extremely boring lives. All will school together just beyond the surf line in areas where there are rocks to provide protection against the surge of the surf. All will face directly into the surge and the schools will not shift position more than 10 feet during an entire season. However, within the schools, the size and numbers fluctuate from day to day. As the black croaker grow larger, they break away from the schools and begin to frequent caves and crevices (from boring to bleak). Illegal to buy or sell in California since 1933.

Hallo! Beschlossen habe ich, ausführlich über meine Erfahrungen mit Rolldorado zu berichten. Angesehen habe ich mir die Seite zunächst nur mal, ohne besondere Erwartungen. Dort verbracht habe ich letztendlich mehr Zeit, als ich gedacht hatte. Dass alles reibungslos funktioniert, die Spiele schnell starten und nichts hängen bleibt, hat mir gefallen. Einfach recht ist die Benutzeroberfläche, lange einarbeiten musste ich mich nicht. Verschiedene Spielsitzungen gab es, manchmal war ich im Minus, aber manchmal auch im Gegenteil, und aufzuholen gelang es mir ein wenig. Einmal war ich sogar im Plus, woraufhin die Auszahlung zu testen ich beschloss. Angekommen ist das Geld ohne Verzögerungen. Einen ruhigen und übersichtlichen Eindruck hinterlässt es insgesamt.
This is interesting information about the black croaker. I had no idea the name was derived from Greek and Latin. It’s fascinating to learn about the origins of species names and how they relate to their appearance. Have you had any experiences catching or cooking black croaker?
I actively searched Google for alternatives after a bad run and registered at boomerang. The fact that they advertised twenty-four-seven live chat support interested me, as I value good customer service. I was on the verge of quitting gambling after losing a massive parlay bet that drained my account. I decided to test the support, and they gave me a small bonus to try the site. I used it on a blackjack table and won hand after hand. I recovered my entire parlay loss and made a solid profit on top. I am extremely satisfied with both the support and the outcome in Australia today.
Black croaker are one of those underrated fish that a lot of people overlook when pier fishing. I caught my first one off the Huntington Beach pier a couple years ago and was surprised by how hard they fight for their size. This article really captures their behavior and habitat well. I recently started using pictro.ai to enhance photos of my catches and the results are amazing — it really brings out the colors of these beautiful fish. Great resource for anyone fishing Southern California piers.
