Macruronus is a genus of merluccid hakes.[1][2] Most are found in southern oceans off Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, but M. maderensis (which is in need of taxonomic review) is only known from Madeira.[2][3] Members of this genus reach 1–1.3 m (3.3–4.3 ft) in length depending on the exact species involved.[2]
