Transcription: Surf perches. Surf perches live only in the Pacific Ocean, mainly along the coast of North America. Surf perches got their name because they are found in the surf or waves near shore. Surf perches also live in tide pools on rocky beaches. Surf perches do not lay eggs like most other fish do. Instead, young surf perches are born live. A newly born surf perch is about as long as a match. People often fish from shore or small boats to catch surf perch. Surf perches eat shrimp, worms and other small animals on the ocean bottom.
