The Argentine hake (Merluccius hubbsi) is a merluccid hake of the genus Merluccius, found in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, along the coast of Argentina, and Uruguay.

It lives at depths from 100 to 200 m, and it feeds on crustaceans, squids and fish (anchovies and smaller hakes).

Sizes and life spans in these hakes also differ, with females growing and living longer than their male counter parts.

[3] A new species of hake, Merluccius patagonicus, was described for the south west Atlantic in 2003.

This would be a third hake species in the area in addition to M. hubbsi and M. australis but some authorities consider this taxon to be a synonymous with M.
