The Haddock spawns in the early months of the year; its food consists of molluscs, crustaceans, sea urchins, worms, etc. Range: — From the North of Scandinavia and Russia to the Bay of Biscay. The Haddock is very abundant in the northern part of the North Sea, on the West Coast of Scotland, and around Iceland, but is not common in the English Channel. Remarks: --Of the Cod family, the Haddock is second only to the Cod in commercial importance, its market value being higher than that of its larger ally.
