FISHES. 
Order 3. ANACANTHINI. 
Division Al^'ACANTHINI GADOIDEI. 
Family GADID^ (Cuv.). 
127. Gadus morrhua, L. Common Cod. 
Caithness people call a young cod " Bloclcie," the very small 
ones " Coddies." 
Abundant all through the Moray Firth. The red- 
coloured inshore cod are looked upon by the Caithness 
people as a different species, and are called " Redman 
Coddies," or " Blochies." 
128. Gadus aeglefinus, L. Haddock. 
Caithness name — " Haddag!' 
Very abundant. The Moray Firth haddocks have a 
great reputation for their good flavour; almost the staple 
fish on the east coast. Common in July and August in 
Loch Inver Bay, and of large size. 
129. Gadus minutus, L. Power Cod. 
"Abundant in the Moray Firth" (G. Harris, Zool, 1854, 
p. 4261). 
Mr. Peach says he never knew a name for this fish, and 
Mr. Eeid writes us : "I know this fish now : it is called 
here ' Poor Cod,' a contraction of Power (?), I suppose. I 
have seen several specimens, but as they are so small a fish, 
our fishermen do not bring them to the market, except 
occasionally, as they are not got in any numbers. 
130. Gadus merlangus, L. Whiting. 
Abundant, but not nearly so much so as the haddock.
