It is a slow-growing fish which may live for up to fifty years and to reach a length up to 2.3 metres (7.5 feet). Patagonian toothfish feed largely on squid, fish, and prawns,which informs their own delicious flavour, and, in turn, constitute a large part of the diets of sperm whales, Southern Elephant Seals, and colossal squid.
