The pink cusk-eel, Genypterus blacodes, is a demersal species of cusk-eel in the family Ophidiidae found in the oceans around southern Australia, Chile, Brazil, and around New Zealand except the east coast of Northland, in depths of 22 to 1,000 metres (70 to 3,280 feet; 10 to 550 fathoms). It is found in the Chilean Patagonia fjords, one of the least researched ocean regions in the world.[2]
Other names for the pink cusk-eel include ling, Australian rockling, New Zealand ling, kingklip, pink ling, and northern ling. The South African kingklip is a similar, related species (Genypterus capensis)[3]
