Cod are typically characterized by their elongated bodies, large heads, and three dorsal fins. Common types include Atlantic cod and Pacific cod, both of which inhabit cold waters; Atlantic cod are primarily found in the North Atlantic, while Pacific cod are found in the North Pacific. They usually have a mottled coloration that ranges from greenish to brown with lighter undersides. Cod also possess a prominent barbell (a sensory organ) on their chin, which aids in hunting for food on the ocean floor.
