Ginsburg described this hake as a species distinct from M. merluccius under the name albidus Mitchill 1818, with pectoral fins consistently a little longer, number of 1st dorsal fin rays ranging larger by about one, and number of scales ranging lower in the western Atlantic population than in the eastern Atlantic (for details, see Tables I, II, also Ginsburg, 1954, p. 193). These differences justify his specific separation of the one from the other. We refer the reader to Ginsburg, 1954, page 194 a for the reasons for applying the old name albidus to the western Atlantic form, in preference to coining a new specific name for it. i The early nomenclatural history of the genus Merluccius in northeastern American waters is a confused Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Harvard University.
