noun
zoology
A long, slim freshwater fish of the cod family with a single barbel on its chin, found in cold northern rivers and lakes.
The burbot is the only member of the cod family that lives wholly in fresh water, and it hunts at night along the bottom of deep, cold lakes. It has an eel-like body, which is why anglers in some regions call it the eelpout or lawyer. Once common across northern Europe, Asia and North America, it has nearly vanished from Britain.
