Image Southern Blue Whiting
Average size about 40 cm, weighing 400 gm. Grey, faintly bluish above, with many small black spots, silver-white below; small, loose scales. Distinguished from small hake by three dorsal and two anal fins, but similar to some other deepwater cads. Deepwater, mainly demersal, but becoming increasingly pelagic in the spring spawning season. Abundant south of New Zealand on the Campbell Plateau and Pukaki Rise in 300-600 m. Caught by trawling. Main catching season during the spawning season, August to early October. A very large resource, probably capable of yielding up to 50,000 tonnes per annum.

Distributed in southern oceans of the world between 10 degrees south and 50 degrees south including New Zealand. Blue-black above, silvery-white below. Pectoral fins very short, never reaching narrow gap between dorsal fins. Eye small. Fish attain their optimum condition by the time they reach New Zealand.

Southern Ocean
A decision by the International Hydrographic Organization in the spring of 2000 delimited a fifth world ocean - the Southern Ocean - from the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica north to 60 degrees south latitude, which coincides with the Antarctic Treaty Limit. The Southern Ocean is now the fourth largest of the world's five oceans (after the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean, but larger than the Arctic Ocean).
