The northern wolffish favours open continental-shelf water that is cold. The fish is thought to prefer a rocky or muddy sea floor, but is found over all types of ocean bottoms.
Sharp teeth and powerful jaws allow the northern wolffish to capture moving fish, starfish, sea urchins, and crabs. They also include some bottom-dwelling organisms in their diets. Their fearsome teeth, however, ensure they have few natural predators. They are not retained by fishermen for food because of their watery and jelly-like flesh.
