Red cod
Pseudophycis bachus
The red codling (Pseudophycis bachus; Māori: hoka) is a morid cod of the genus Pseudophycis, restricted to New Zealand, from the surface to 700 m. It reaches lengths up to 90cm. P. bachus is a food source for the diving yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes).
Environmental organisation Forest & Bird assessed the red cod "Worst Choice (Don't eat)" in its Best Fish Guide, which rates the ecological sustainability of seafoods.
