''Rexea solandri'', the silver gemfish, is a species of snake mackerel found in the southwestern Pacific Ocean around Australia and New Zealand with reports of possible records from Madagascar and Japan. Gemfish appear as infrequent, but regular bycatch species in pelagic longline fisheries for tuna in the waters around the Hawaiian archipelago and American Samoa. This species occurs in schools at depths of between though mostly between . This species can reach a length of up to SL and a maximum weight of has been recorded. This species is important to local commercial fisheries Commercial fishing is the activity of catching fish and other seafood for commercial profit, mostly from wild fisheries. It provides a large quantity of food to many countries around the world, but those who practice it as an industry must often ....

Gempylidae
The Gempylidae are a family of perciform fishes commonly known as snake mackerels or escolars. The family includes about 25 species. They are elongated fishes with a similar appearance to barracudas, having a long dorsal fin, usually with one or finlets trailing it. The largest species, including the snoek ('' Thyrsites atun''), grow up to 2 m long, and the oilfish (''Ruvettus pretiosus'') can reach 3 m, though they rarely surpass 150 cm. Like the barracudas, they are predators, with fang-like teeth. They are deep-water benthopelagic fishes, and several species are important commercial and game fishes.
