The Pacific hake is a marine fish with a long body. It lives in the northern part of the Pacific Ocean and hunts small animals.
The Pacific hake differs from other hakes in the larger size of females and its northern range. It is important as a predator in the ocean and as the main prey for seals, sea lions, and large fish.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
