What does GADID mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
Any fish belonging to the family Gadidae, the cod family, which includes cod, haddock, pollock, and whiting.
Zoologists group these species together because they share features such as the arrangement of the dorsal fin and, in most cases, a small barbel on the chin used to feel for food on the seabed. A typical gadid lives in cold or temperate ocean water and feeds near the bottom, which is part of why cod and haddock became major targets of commercial fishing fleets. Not every bottom-dwelling fish belongs to this group; the classification rests on specific anatomical traits shared across the family.
