[2] The specific name albofasciatus means "white banded", Lacépède described the species from an illustration which showed it had a white band at the base of the caudal fin, this is pink and golden in living specimens. [3]

Identified from Sebastiscus marmoratus|S, marmoratus]] in the pectoral fin normally having 17 rays and by a sharp spine on the upper edge of the second introrbital bone. The overall colour is yellowish-red. [4] In live fish there is a pink and gold band at the base of the caudal fin. [3] This species attains a maximum total length of 25 cm (9.8 in). [1]

Distribution and habitat

Sebastiscus albofasciatus is found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean where it occurs in the East China Sea, South China Sea, including Hong Kong, and from southern Japan to eastern Korea. [1] This is a demersal fish found on rocky bottoms, [4] at depths of 30 to 200 m (98 to 656 ft), [1] at greater depths than S. marmoratus. [4]
