Gadidae
Gadidae (cod, haddock; superorder Paracanthopterygii, order Gadiformes) A family of marine fish found in cold to temperate waters. All members of the family have spineless fins. Some species have three
dorsal and two
anal fins. Typically, the
pelvic fins are located far forward, ahead of the
pectorals and include more than five soft fin rays. Usually there is a single
barbel on the chin. Several species are of considerable commercial importance (e.g. the European
Gadus morrhua (cod), which was already an important staple product to the Scandinavian Vikings). The omnivorous cod is a prolific species: large (10 kg) females may release some four million eggs. Other important species include
Melanogrammus aeglefinus (haddock),
Molva molva (ling), and
Lota lota (burbot), a freshwater representative. There are about 55 species, occurring in the northern Atlantic and Pacific.
