White hake. I've worked on fish that were +20pounds easy.
These get huge-for hakes that is.

now Red Hake... not to be confused with Spotted Hake. Well it's been done
I think the biggest I've seen is about ten pounds. Similar looking to white hake. The "feelers" extend for much longer on the body on red hake. The tiny ones like to live in live scallops and it's not uncommon to find them in the big scallops. The tiny ones can sometimes be found inshore of NJ.

Silver Hake

old document but it shows the mapped occurrence of the fish-if you have the patience go to page 40.
http://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/nefsc/publ...m186/tm186.pdf

Considering they can seem to be the most abundant fish in trawls-where the heck do they all go to?? They are small enough to just get stuck in nets and they don't survive well. They are grouped in with the multi-species permits and there doesn't seem to be a minimum size.


They are on most of the conveyor belt photo's I have...

Last winter we were finding the good old baseball sized fish in bottom trawls up north. The small ones are also found in trawls in Raritan bay, mostly when the water is cold.



this is a multi species assessment from 2010(only +800 pages)

Longhorn sculpin. A northern species with pain in the ass "horns" on it's head. It makes handling them a pain in the ass. The biggest I've seen is a few pounds.

They are a bit like sea robins.

Thanks for starting this thread! I've always been fascinated by the fish and other creatures that live in our oceans. I actually considered becoming a marine biologist back in high school. Keep the post coming, I'll definitely be checking back in!

though not a fish...

Porbeagle shark-or at least I think that's what this is. It's from a bottom trawl in 2014 on the NOAA ship Bigelow. If I think about it Monday I'll try to confirm. I think the beast got frozen whole for the Smithsonian. For some reason I think it could be a salmon shark

http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/pr/pdfs/spe...k_detailed.pdf

when animals like sharks, huge rays or turtles get netted they usually get handled quickly and back over the side. There is a scale on the crane, and there are tag kits ready to put in quickly. The deck crew usually keeps the curious scientific staff safe and out of the way.

Thorny skate. I think the biggest I've seen myself was 10-15 pounds.

Here's some good info...

Wrymouth. A very interesting fish. They are a northern species-south range is close to NJ. I remember working on this species and they were very lively and watched our hands and tried to bite us. Many fish that come up in trawls are in shock and may not be flapping around too much(anymore) but these fish didn't want to be handled. It's another species that I've added my own bottom trawl photo to. Eel like but with spines on it's dorsal fin.
The fish has some attitude. In all my photo's and some others I've seen the fish always has it's mouth open-as if it's just waiting to bite.

I still try not to use Wikipedia too much but sometimes they have the best info...

Spotted Hake-almost passed this one by...

not uncommon around here. I've kept them in tanks for our annual open house and learned that they essentially eat until they cannot move anymore. Biggest I've seen is 3-4 pounds. Typically an inshore species..

they are also know as spotted codling
