About Wolffish in general
It’s natural habitat in the Barents Sea and in the North Sea at a depth of three to four hundred meters. It can live up to 40 years old, grow to 180 cm and can weigh as much as 26 kg in the wild.
Apart from their unique appearance, they are distinguished by the natural antifreeze they produce to keep their blood moving fluidly in their very cold habitat, involvement by both the male and female in brood bearing, and the large size of their eggs. They are also an important factor in controlling green crab and sea urchin populations, which can become overly disruptive to habitats if left unchecked. Wolffish population success is also an important indicator of the health of other bottom-dwellers.
