Description:
Wolffish are long-bodied, bottom-dwelling fish recognized for their large rounded heads, powerful jaws, and prominent canine-like teeth used to crush shellfish and crustaceans. Their bluish-gray bodies feature dark vertical markings and a tapered, eel-like shape.
Habitat:
Wolffish inhabit the cold, rocky waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, typically living along the seafloor in deep, rugged habitats ranging from coastal ledges to depths exceeding 1,000 feet.
Harvesting:
Most wolffish are harvested as bycatch in cold-water groundfish fisheries targeting cod, haddock, and other bottom species, though Iceland also supports a directed commercial fishery. They are commonly caught using bottom trawls and longline gear.
