Gadidae
The Gadidae are a family of marine fish, included in the order Gadiformes, known as the cods, codfishes, or true cods. It contains several commercially important fishes, including the cod, haddock, whiting, and pollock. Most gadid species are found in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere, but several range into subtropical, subarctic, and Arctic oceans, and a single ( southern blue whiting) is found in the Southern Hemisphere. They are generally medium-sized fish, and are distinguished by the presence of three dorsal fins on the back and two anal fins on the underside. Most species have barbels on their chins, which they use while browsing on the sea floor. Gadids are carnivorous, feeding on smaller fish and crustaceans. Gadids are highly prolific, producing several million eggs at each spawning. This contributes to their high population numbers, which, in turn, makes commercial fishing relatively easy. Concepts differ about the contents of the family Gadidae. The s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Haddock
The haddock (''Melanogrammus aeglefinus'') is a saltwater ray-finned fish from the Family (biology), family Gadidae, the true cods. It is the only species in the Monotypy, monotypic genus ''Melanogrammus''. It is found in the North Atlantic Ocean and associated seas, where it is an important species for fisheries, especially in northern Europe, where it is marketed fresh, frozen and Smoked fish, smoked; smoked varieties include the Finnan haddie and the Arbroath smokie. Other smoked versions include long boneless, the fileted side of larger haddock smoked in oak chips with the skin left on the fillet. Description The haddock has the elongated, tapering body shape typical of members of the cod family. It has a relatively small mouth which does not extend to below the eye; with the lower profile of the face being straight and the upper profile slightly rounded, this gives its snout a characteristic wedge-shaped profile. The upper jaw projects beyond the lower more so than in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gadiculus
''Gadiculus'', or the silvery pouts, are genus of cod, fishes in the family Gadidae. They are distributed in the coastal waters of the Northeast Atlantic and the adjacent Mediterranean Sea.

Trisopterus
''Trisopterus'' is a genus of small cods, family Gadidae. They are native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean including the Mediterranean Sea. Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: * '' Trisopterus capelanus'' ( Lacepède, 1800) * ''Trisopterus esmarkii'' ( Nilsson, 1855) (Norway pout) * ''Trisopterus luscus'' (Linnaeus Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming o ..., 1758) (pouting) * '' Trisopterus minutus'' (Linnaeus, 1758) (poor cod) ''Trisopterus capelanus'' was until recently (2011) considered to be a subspecies of ''Trisopterus minutus'', but both genetic and morphometric data clearly support the status of ''Trisopterus capelanus'' as a separate species.

Arctogadus
''Arctogadus glacialis'', known also with ambiguous common names Arctic cod and polar cod, is an Arctic species of fish in the cod family Gadidae, related to the true cod (genus ''Gadus''). ''Arctogadus glacialis'' is found in icy water. They grow to about 30 cm long, and are favorite food of narwhals and other arctic whales. Common names and taxonomy The common names "Arctic cod" and "polar cod" can refer to either ''Arctogadus glacialis'' or '' Boreogadus saida'', and "Arctic cod" may also refer to '' Eleginus nawaga''. Another Arctic gadid, the East Siberian cod (''Arctogadus borisovi''), was until recently considered the closest relative of ''A. glacialis''. It has, however, been found not to be distinct from ''A. glacialis'', and should be included in this species. According to this result, ''Arctogadus'' is a monotypic genus. However, ''Arctogadus'' is a close relative of '' Boreogadus'', and should perhaps be included in that genus. Appearance Arctic cod have been ...

Boreogadus
''Boreogadus saida'', known as the polar cod or as the Arctic cod, is a fish of the cod Family (biology), family Gadidae, related to the true cod (genus ''Gadus''). Another fish species for which both the common names Arctic cod and polar cod are used is ''Arctogadus glacialis''. Description Arctic cod have slender bodies, deeply forked tails, a projecting mouth, and a small chin Barbel (anatomy), barbel. They have three dorsal fins and two anal fins, which are all separate from each other. The caudal fin is concave, the pectoral fins reach beyond the end of the first dorsal fin, and the pelvic fins are elongated rays. The lateral line is interrupted along the entire length of the fish. They are plainly coloured with brownish spots and a silvery body. Greenlandic Inuit fishers have described two morphotypes of Arctic cod, a lighter-colored variety and a darker-colored variety. Arctic cod are frequently misidentified as polar cod (Arctogadus glacialis) during their larval and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Southern Blue Whiting
The southern blue whiting (''Micromesistius australis'') is a codfish of the genus '' Micromesistius'', found in the southern oceans with temperatures between 3 and 7 °C, at depths of 50 to 900 m. Its length is commonly between 30 and 60 cm, with a maximum length of 90 cm. Maximum weight is at least 1350 g. A related species, the blue whiting, ''Micromesistius poutassou'', occurs in the Northern Hemisphere. In Canada, according to Canadian Food Inspection Agency regulations and the list of acceptable fish species names, "Micromesistius australis" (or southern blue whiting) can also be referred to as blue cod. This well-known species is part of the family Gadidae and is a very versatile fish. It is most commonly filleted and served breaded or battered, but it is also well-suited to pan frying, oven baking and steaming. It has flaky white fillets and mild flavor with broad appeal to children and adults alike. The two disjunct populations are: * ''M. a. austral ...

Merlangius Merlangus
''Merlangius merlangus'', commonly known as whiting or merling, is an important food fish in the eastern North Atlantic Ocean and the northern Mediterranean, western Baltic, and Black Sea. In Anglophonic countries outside the whiting's natural range, the name "whiting" has been applied to various other species of fish. Description ''Merlangius merlangus'' has three dorsal fins with a total of 30 to 40 soft rays and two anal fins with 30 to 35 soft rays. The body is long and the head small and a chin barbel, if present, is very small. This fish can reach a maximum length of about . The colour may be yellowish-brown, greenish or dark blue, the flanks yellowish grey or white and the belly silvery. There is a distinctive black blotch near the base of each pectoral fin. Distribution and habitat Whiting are native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean. Their range extends from the southeastern Barents Sea and Iceland to Scandinavia, the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Portugal, the Black S ...

Gadiformes
Gadiformes , also called the Anacanthini, are an order of ray-finned fish that include the cod, hakes, pollock, haddock, burbot, rocklings and moras, many of which are food fish of major commercial value. They are mostly marine fish found throughout the world and the vast majority are found in temperate or colder regions (tropical species are typically deep-water) while a few species may enter brackish estuaries. Pacific tomcods, one of the two species that makes up the genus ''Microgadus'', are able to enter freshwater, but there is no evidence that they breed there. Some populations of landlocked Atlantic tomcod on the other hand, complete their entire life cycle in freshwater. Yet only one species, the burbot (''Lota lota''), is a true freshwater fish. Common characteristics include the positioning of the pelvic fins (if present), below or in front of the pectoral fins. Gadiformes are physoclists, which means their swim bladders do not have a pneumatic duct. The fins ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pollock
Pollock or pollack (pronounced ) is the common name used for either of the two species of North Atlantic ocean, marine fish in the genus ''Pollachius''. ''Pollachius pollachius'' is referred to as "pollock" in North America, Ireland and the United Kingdom, while ''Pollachius virens'' is usually known as saithe or coley in Great Britain and Ireland (derived from the older name coalfish). Other names for ''P. pollachius'' include the Atlantic pollock, European pollock, ''lieu jaune'', and lythe or lithe; while ''P. virens'' is also known as Boston blue (distinct from bluefish) and silver bill. Species The recognized species in this genus are: * ''Pollachius pollachius'' (Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus, 1758) (pollack) * ''Pollachius virens'' (Linnaeus, 1758) (coalfish) Description Both species can grow to . ''P. virens'' can weigh up to and ''P. pollachius'' can weigh up to . ''P. virens'' has a strongly defined, silvery lateral line running down the sides. ...
