Blue Cod
-
Average length 30-40 cm, average weight 1-3 kg, although fish up to 45 cm long and weighing 2.5 kg are common. Blue cod is a sand perch and not a true cod. Greenish-blue to blue-black above, with more brownish sides, and with moderate scales. Occurs in rocky areas throughout New Zealand coastal waters but most common in the colder waters of southern New Zealand and the Chatham Islands, to depths of 150 metres. Caught mainly by potting sometimes by handlining. Available all year round, but landings peak during the winter months and fall off substantially over the summer. A small resource.
