Mackerel icefish

The Mackerel icefish lives in the pelagic-oceanic, marine, depth range 0 - 700 m environment.

The mackerel icefish feeds mainly on krill (Euphausia superba); it takes other euphausiids, mysids, and hyperiid amphipods (Themisto gaudichaudii) when krill numbers are low. REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY Reproductive parameters vary considerably between the different stocks. More

Mackerel icefish are short lived and fast growing with variable recruitment. They grow to about 66 cm and can weigh up to 2 kg. Juveniles and adults form large aggregations are predominantly in the demersal to mid-water range. More

The mackerel icefish is one of a group of species exclusively found in the Southern Ocean known as 'white-blooded' fishes. These fishes survive without the red oxygen carrying pigment haemoglobin in their blood cells that other fishes have. More

Mackerel icefish are found in the Southern Ocean and the southern Atlantic. Localities include the islands of the Scotia Sea, the northern Antarctic Peninsula, Kerguelen, Heard and Bouvet Islands, South Georgia, the South Orkney Islands and South Shetland. More

Management of the fishery on mackerel icefish relies on frequent surveys and short-term population projections because of high variability in natural mortality and is further complicated by the dual role of icefish as both consumers of krill and alternative prey to krill predators. More
