The roughnose grenadier (Trachyrincus murrayi) is a species of fish in the subfamily Macrourinae (rat-tails). [3] [4] The species is named for Sir John Murray. [5]
The roughnose grenadier is grey in colour, up to 62 cm (24 in) in length. [6] [5] It has huge, bulbous black eyes and a sharp, pointed snout.
The roughnose grenadier is benthopelagic, living at depths of 500–1,630 m (1,640–5,350 ft) in the North Atlantic Ocean and Southwest Pacific. [7]
The roughnose grenadier spawns in March–May and feeds on crustaceans; it can live for 40 years. [5]
Boreogadus saida, known as the polar cod or as the Arctic cod, is a fish of the cod family Gadidae, related to the true cod. Another fish species for which both the common names Arctic cod and polar cod are used is Arctogadus glacialis.
The common ling, also known as the white ling or simply the ling, is a large member of the family Lotidae, a group of cod-like fishes. It resembles the related rocklings, but it is much larger and has a single barbel. This species is unrelated to the pink ling, Genypterus blacodes, from the Southern Hemisphere. The common ling is found in the northern Atlantic, mainly off Europe, and into the Mediterranean Basin. It is an important quarry species for fisheries, especially in the northeastern Atlantic, although some doubts exist as to the sustainability of the fisheries. As an edible species, it is eaten fresh, frozen, or dried, but also preserved in lye, while the roe is a delicacy in Spain.
