True Cod

Modern taxonomy recognizes three species in this genus as true cod:

Gadus macrocephalus - Pacific cod
Gadus morhua - Atlantic cod
Gadus ogac - Greenland cod
All these species have a profusion of common names, most of them including the word "cod". Many common names have been used of more than one species, in different places or at different times.

[edit] Related speciesCod forms part of the common name of many other fish no longer classified in the genus Gadus. Many are members of the family Gadidae; others are members of three related families within the order Gadiformes whose names include the word "cod": the morid cods, Moridae (100 or so species); the eel cods, Muraenolepididae (four species); and the Eucla cod, Euclichthyidae (one species). The tadpole cod family (Ranicipitidae) has now been placed in Gadidae.
