Southwest Pacific: New Zealand and southern Australia.
Length at first maturity / আকৃতি / ওজন / Age
Maturity: Lm 67.5, range 65 - 70 cm
Max length : 120 cm TL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 1371); 130.0 cm TL (female); common length : 80.0 cm TL পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 1371); সবের্াচ্চ প্রকাশিত ওজন : 1.5 kg (Ref. 1371); সবের্াচ্চ প্রকাশিত ওজন : 1.5 kg; সর্বোচ্চ উলি্ল্লখিত বয়স : 25 বৎসর (Ref. 6390)
পৃষ্ঠীয় কাঁটা (মোট ) : 12 - 13; পৃষ্ঠীয় নরম পাখনা দন্ড (মোট ) : 96 - 106; পায়ূ কাঁটা : 0; পায়ূর নরম পাখনা্তুন্ড: 89 - 93; কশেরুকা : 78 - 81. Dorsal surface silvery, with a purple or blue-green tinge; plank and belly silvery; fins darker. Body very elongate and compressed with a tapering tail, dorsal and anal fins confluent with the caudal fin (Ref. 33856).
Appear to live usually on or near the bottom, but may occasionally move up into mid-waters. Large adult fish generally occur deeper than 400 m, while juveniles may be found in shallower water (Ref. 9072), more commonly found in large estuaries and bays, and may even enter freshwaters (Ref. 1371). Juvenile specimens and especially adults belonging to the American subspecies, have been caught from the coastal zone to 110 m (Ref. 58452). Form schools. Feed primarily on lantern fishes. In New Zealand, it feeds in midwater on small fish, crustaceans and squid. Oviparous, spawn 1 million eggs on the average which are released all at one time (Ref. 6390). Utilized fresh and frozen; can be steamed, fried, cooked in microwave and baked (Ref. 9988).
Female blue grenadier produce about 1 million eggs on average, which are all released at once (Ref. 6390).
