Frozen Hake - Chile

Hake is in the same taxonomic order (Gadiformes) as cod and haddock.

It is a medium-to-large fish averaging from 1 to 8 pounds (0.45 to 3.63 kg) in weight, with specimens as large as 60 pounds (27 kg).

The fish can grow up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) in length with a lifespan of as long as 14 years.

Hake may be found in the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean in waters from 200 to 350 metres (656 to 1, 148 ft) deep.

The fish stay in deep water during the day and come to shallower depths during the night.

An undiscerning predator, hake feed on prey found near or on the bottom of the sea.

Male and female hake are very similar in appearance.

After spawning, the hake eggs float on the surface of the sea where the larvae develop.

After a certain period of time, the baby hake then migrate to the bottom of the sea, preferring depths of less than 200 metres (656 ft).

A total of 12 hake species are known in the family Merlucciidae: Argentine hake (Merluccius hubbsi), found off Argentina Benguela hake (Merluccius poli), found off South Africa Deep-water hake (Merluccius paradoxus) found in the southern Atlantic Ocean European hake (Merluccius merluccius), found off the Atlantic coast of Europe and western North Africa, in the Mediterranean Sea, and in the Black Sea.
