🐟Blue grenadier
Der Hoki (Macruronus novaezelandiae), auch Neuseeland-Hoki, Neuseeländischer Hoki, Blauer Seehecht oder Neuseeländischer Langschwanz-Seehecht genannt (engl.: blue grenadier oder blue hake), ist ein Fisch aus der Gattung der Südlichen Seehechte, der rund um die Südinsel von Neuseeland, bei den Chathaminseln, den Aucklandinseln, den Snaresinseln und an der Süd- und Westküste von Australien vorkommt. Der rund um Patagonien vorkommende Macruronus magellanicus ist abgesehen von der Flossenformel morphologisch kaum vom Hoki zu unterscheiden und galt früher als Unterart von M. novaezelandiae, wird heute jedoch als eigenständige Art angesehen. Der Hoki ist ein guter Speisefisch und wird kommerziell gefangen.
