Wikipedia Abstract

Notothenia angustata, the Maori chief, is a species of cod icefish native to the southern ocean between New Zealand and Chile south to the Antarctic, at depths down to 100 metres (330 ft). The juveniles are often found in tide pools. The Maori chief is a large (up to 41 centimetres (16 in) TL) bottom-living fish not too dissimilar to the Maori cod. It has a large mouth, a prominent bony ridge above each eye, a rounded caudal fin, and two lateral lines which overlap slightly. The first dorsal fin is small with only six spines. It eats a variety of invertebrates and small fishes.
