Red cod from Lyttelton Harbour.
Ugly Southern Cod. Anglers fishing around the South Island of New Zealand for red cod occasionally catch rock cod and bastard red cod.
Frostfish - Lepidopus caudatus.

Frostfish from the Bay of Plenty. At first glance the frostfish appears to be a thin looking barracouta. Indeed the two species share several common features: both are devoid of scales, have a mouth full of long sharp teeth, and are silver in colour.
