Merluccius gayi (Chilean hake)

Wikipedia Abstract

Merluccius gayi is a merluccid hake of the genus Merluccius, with two subspecies, the South Pacific hake (M. g. gayi) and the Peruvian hake (M. g. peruanus), found in the south-western Pacific Ocean, along the coast of South America, from Peru (Merluccius gayi peruanus) to the Chilean coasts north to the Chiloé Archipelago. During the Southern Hemisphere summer, it migrates southwards in shallow waters, while in the winter, it lives more to the north, in far deeper waters.
