size, are as voracious as the cod; their food varies in 

 accordance with the locality inhabited. They consume 

 herrings, sprats, and other small fish during the warmer 

 portion of the year, and in the winter are found to swallow 

 stone-coated worms, Serpulce, which the fishermen term 

 haddock meat ; while they will also consume shell-fish and 

 take bait similar to those used for the cod. Dr. Mclntosh
