Description

When you look at the atlantic wolffish, it becomes obvious how it got its name - its large teeth give an impression of a ferocious, wolf-like creature. Despite its intimidating look, this fish is completely harmless to humans. It actually has a caring personality, being known for a type of parenting rare among fish species - fertilized eggs are guarded carefully by the males. Being a good table fish, the atlantic wolffish is threatened by overfishing and it's considered a species of concern in some areas.
