Range & habitat
The species of Macrourus are found on the upper- to middle continental slope which are restricted to cold temperate and polar waters in both the North and South Atlantic as well as in the Southern Ocean. They are found at depths from around 200 meters (660 feet) to greater than 3,000 meters (9,800 feet). They normally prefer temperatures of between 1 and 4 °C (34 and 39 °F), although one species, the Antarctic roughhead (Macrourus whitsoni), has been collected at temperatures which were slightly below 0 °C (32 °F).
