Chiefly marketed at about .1 fet-'t. Description: Body heavily built in the fore part and tapering fairly abruptly to the tail ; first anal fin commencing beneath the fourth or fifth ray of the second dorsal ; a lon<^ fleshy barbel situated on the lower jaw. Coloration greenish-yellow or olive, with numerous dark spots, shading off to impure white below; lateral line white and fairly conspicuous. The Cod spawns from January to June; its food consists of crustaceans, molluscs and voting fish. Range: From the North of Norway and Iceland to the Bay of Biscay, and from Greenland to New York. Remarks: The Cod, the young of which is known as the Codling, is one of the most important food-fishes of Europe and North America in the fresh state, whereas in a salted or dried condition it is extensively marketed in various other parts of the world. The chief fishery is car- ried on by steam trawlers and long-liners off Newfoundland and Iceland, in the North Sea. to the West and North of Scotland, and off the West < 'ni:ig. \'.</V.—As it is necessary, for purposes of description, to refer to certain details of the external characteristics of fishes in general, the above illu-- tration has been labelled with a view to indicating the position of such features in the case of the Cod. The modification, development, or lack of the several fins, etc., may be traced in all the species described in this volume, with the exception of the Dogfish, Skates, and Rays, in which a somewhat different form of structure is present.
