Pacific Cod Kofi comm! thank you!

You get a Pacific Cod

Do you enjoy abstract posters about fish and religion? Do you find yourself wishing you could have just a taste of that sweet, sweet fillet that only the likes of Lovecraft or maybe Tolkien have ever tasted? Well have I got news for you!

The "Ancient Codfish" is from Bagpuss [very enjoyable but episode 6 wouldn't be aired today].

Codfish is just a fancy name for Cod. There are 3 usually recognised species of them [Atlantic, Pacific and Greenland] and they're related to Haddock and Pollock.

In their genus, there is actually a fourth fish, the other being the Alaska Pollock, Snow Cod or Bigeye Cod. It is a cod but it isn't recognised as such by most :[

Codfish!

Brought to you by a marine biologist with a true cod!

We have covered so many fish and it boggles my mind that this - the Pacific Cod - is the first true cod we're covering. It's not that cod species are numerous (there are only 3 haha), but cods are extremely important food fish the world over. This fish practically built New England here in the US. Granted, that was for the Atlantic Cod. Either way, this fish also supports a very productive fishery in the North Pacific.

The Pacific Cod is a very recent Pocket Camp addition. It appeared during Fishing Tourney 57, Soup-er, which occurred just last year in December 2022. The Pacific Cod appeared with the returning Lobster and Bigfin Reef Squid.

Cod themselves are only really special because of how valuable we consider them as food; otherwise, they're really not all that exciting LOL. Like most bony fish, Cod belong to class Actinopterygii, which include almost any fish you can think of. Cods and their relatives belong in the Gadiformes, an Order of fish that comprises about 555 species worldwide. The vast majority of these fish are circumpolar or temperate, with tropical species tending to live at depth where it's cooler. They range in size from a few centimeters to the largest, the Atlantic Cod, growing to more than 6 feet (2 m)! Within Gadiformes is Gadidae, the Family the Pacific Cod belongs. These fish are best known for their three dorsal fins and two anal fins, as well as their pelvic fins positioned ahead of their pectoral fins. Their fins are weird, okay? They also have a barbel, or whisker, on their chin that they use to peruse the sea bottom for prey. Once they are adults, they pretty much eat whatever they want (such as smaller fish, crustaceans, worms, etc.) and have few predators that aren't large sharks or marine mammals. The Pacific Cod, (Gadus macrocephalus), shares its "true Cod" crown with just two other species - the Atlantic Cod and Alaska Pollock.

The Pacific Cod itself is native to the North Pacific on the continental shelf from around Los Angelos, CA, up and around to Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, across to Japan and China's Yellow Sea. It will dive deeper to the edge of the shelf, about 750 feet (250 m), in winter to spawn, and then move towards shallower waters in spring and summer to feed. Despite being relatively large and predatory - they can still grow to be 3 feet (1 m) in length, they will school together.

Honestly, they really are the perfect fish to fish for commercially. They don't occur very deeply, so they're around all year, they spawn like crazy, grow quickly, and best of all, they prefer soft bottom habitats, like sand and mud. Fishing gear over habitat like that has a minimal impact since those types of habitats experience high disturbance regularly and recover quickly. That is in contrast with very structured habitats, like coral reefs, that are fragile and don't recover quickly or really at all. When it comes to deciding what fish are environmentally friendly to fish and eat, there are quite a lot of factors to consider, the effects of fishing gear on bottom habitat a major one. It's important not to judge a fishery solely on the gear the fishermen use, and I wish more of those "Seafood Guides" put a bit more effort into the research on this subject.
