Author: (Linnaeus, 1758)
FBname: Poor cod
Remark: The species has been long thought to be present in the Mediteranean in sympatry with <i>Trisopterus capelanus</i>, sometimes both as subspecies.  See Delling <i>et al.</i> (2011: Ref. 90172) for the latest revision of the genus.
Comments: Occurs mostly from 15 to 200 m in the Atlantic on muddy or sandy bottoms.  Feeds on crustaceans, small fish, and polychaetes (Ref. 1371).  Used in the production of fish meal, and in southern Europe as a human food (Ref. 35388).
