Also known as Pink Ling and Pink Cusk-eel,
Ling Kingclip
Ling have long tapered bodies with small scales. Their bodies are covered with a
thick mucus. Their upper jaw extends only a short distance beyond the eye and the
gill openings are on each side of the body behind the head. The 2 rayed ventral fins
are positioned on the chin and the dorsal, caudal and anal fins form a continuous fin.
The overall body colour is pinkish to orange with irregular brown bands on its
upper two-thirds.
Habitat: Saltwater and estuarine
Pink ling is caught in open water. Rock ling is found further inshore,
sometimes in estuaries.
Pink Ling inhabit the south-west Pacific waters of New Zealand and temperate Australia.
They are also recorded from South America. In Australia they are present in
continental shelf and slope waters from Crowdy Head in New South Wales to Albany in
Western Australia.
Pink Ling are demersal and inhabit a depth range of 20 to 800 metres, being mainly
found in waters between 300m to 500m.
Pink ling are found on a variety of substrates from rocky ground to soft sand and mud,
in which they burrow.
