Wikipedia Abstract

The Maori cod (Paranotothenia magellanica), also known as Magellanic rockcod, blue notothenia or orange throat notothen, is a species of cod icefish native to the Southern Ocean. "Maori chief" and "black cod", sometimes used for this species, usually refer to fishes from the related genus Notothenia. It occurs at depths of from near the surface to 255 metres (837 ft), though it is usually found at less than 20 metres (66 ft) This species can reach a length of 38 centimetres (15 in) SL. Being a perciform fish it is unrelated to the true cods of the order Gadiformes. This species is commercially important as a food fish.
