Teleostei (teleosts) > Gadiformes (Cods) > Gadidae (Cods and haddocks)
Etymology: Arctogadus: Greek, arktos = narrow + Latin , gadus = a fish (cod?) (Ref. 45335).
More on author: Peters.

Marine; bathypelagic; non-migratory; depth range 0 - 1000 m (Ref. 1371); deep-water; 87°N - 65°N130°W - 161°W (Ref. 1371).

Arctic and Northeast Atlantic: widely distributed in western part of Arctic basin, also northwest and northeast coasts of Greenland.

Max length: 32.5 cm TL male/unsexed (Ref. 1371).

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Anal spines: 0. Chin barbels rudimentary or absent.

Associated with ice (cryopelagic or epontic), found mainly in offshore waters, at or beyond the edge of the continental shelf (Ref. 1371). Feeds on fishes and crustaceans (Ref. 58426). Of little economic value (Ref. 1371).

Oviparous, sexes are separate (Ref. 101194).

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): -1.3 - 1.6, mean -0.1 °C (based on 2624 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 1 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00424 - 0.01487), b=3.10 (2.94 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.2 ±0.4 se; Based on food items.

Resilience (Ref. 120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).

Fishing vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (23 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Very high; Unreliable: based on ex-vessel price for species in this order.
