| The quota system prompted derby-style fishing, where fishermen competed to catch as much wreckfish as possible before the quota was met. |
| The recapture of this specimen suggests that wreckfish take up a demersal life at a total length of about 50 cm. |
| Preliminary results show wreckfish consumed predominantly squids and teleost fishes, while both Beryx species consumed mainly squid and shrimps. |
| The diet of Atlantic wreckfish consists mainly of large ocean cephalopods, crustaceans, and other bottom-dwelling fishes. |
| The main food species of wreckfish in southern Brazil were the hake Merluccius hubbsi, the Argentine shortfin squid Illex argentinus and the red-crab Chaceon notialis. |
| Mortality of released fish, wreckfish, deep water groupers and orange roughies, is almost always 100 percent. |
