Why are Blue Lingcod Blue? Does anyone know?

A "blue" Lingcod gets its unusual color from a natural pigment called biliverdin.
Biliverdin is a green-blue bile pigment that's produced when the body breaks down red blood cells. In most animals, it's processed and removed fairly efficiently. In some lingcod, however, biliverdin accumulates in their tissues, giving the flesh a striking turquoise or blue-green color.
