A fish of the cod family Gadidae, which includes cod, haddock, and pollock.
From the scientific family name Gadidae, from Latin 'gadus' (cod), likely from Greek 'γάδος'. The suffix -id indicates an individual member of this taxonomic family.
Gadids are economically crucial fish—for centuries they were so abundant that European explorations of North America were driven largely by cod fisheries, and this single family of fish influenced global history and economics.
