The spearsnouted grenadier (Coelorinchus labiatus) is a species of fish in the family Macrouridae. [3]
The spearsnouted grenadier is greyish in colour, with the mouth, gill cavities and first dorsal fin blackish. [4] It is up to 50 cm (1.6 ft) in length. It has two dorsal spines and the photophore is short and not visible externally. [5]
The spearsnouted grenadier lives in the eastern Atlantic Ocean; it is bathydemersal, living at depths of 460–2,220 m (1,510–7,280 ft). [6]
The spearsnouted grenadier feeds on crustaceans and small fish. It lives up to 10 years. Lepidapedon arlenae and Derogenes varicus are parasitic upon it. [7]
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.
