THE FISHES OF NEW JERSEY. 417 
Genus MELANOGRAMMUS Gill. 
The Haddocks. 
Melanogrammus eglefinus (Linnzus). 
PLATE 95. 
Haddock. 
A large fish easily distinguished from any other in the family 
by the black lateral line. 
I have no examples. It is not very abundant, however, off our 
north shores. I have records of examples from Asbury Park 
and Long Branch, where occasionally a few are seen. It is con- 
sidered a good food-fish.

Lota maculosa (Le Sueur). 
Mud Blower. Ling. 

Mud Blower. Lota maculosa (Le Sueur). 
This is the only fresh-water representative of the family. It 
is distinguished from the hakes principally by the rather broad 
ventrals, each of 6 rays, and from the cusks by 2 dorsal fins.
