Fish nototenia, cooking recipes. Information on the coelacanthal

Fish nototenia, inhabiting the South-West Atlantic, at depths of fifty meters to five hundred, is fed mainly by crustacean plankton. The weight of its carcass is small (up to 52%), because of the head of a large size, which is up to 39% of the total mass of fish. Such a reduced yield of notothenia in medium and large specimens can be explained by the relative volume of the intestines.
