		The prevalence of centenarians in the New England Centenarian study is relatively rare, approximately 1 per 10,000.
		If we locate such regions among our centenarians and their siblings, it is likely that these regions will contain genes that determine rates of aging and susceptibility to diseases associated with aging.

		And according to John C. Guerin, Centenarian Rockfish Project Director at Oregon State University, there is no difference in taste or texture between centenarian and younger rockfish.
		Guerin and coworkers found that rockfish satisfied the criteria for selecting the ideal species in which to study negligible senescence: (1) live 50 years or more; (2) are not endangered; (3) are readily available for research; (4) if fish, live near the surface; (5) manifest limited hibernation/torpor.
		The species selected for the Centenarian Rockfish Project were yelloweye rockfish (S. ruberrimus) and rougheye rockfish (S. aleutianus).
