The Moridae are a family of cod-like fishes, known as codlings, hakelings, and moras.
Morids are marine fishes found throughout the world, and may be found at depths to Template:Convert, although most prefer shallower waters. In appearance, they greatly resemble the typical cods, from which can only be distinguished by their skeletal features and the structure of the swim bladder.[1]
They grow up to Template:Convert long (red codling, Pseudophycis bachus).
The earliest fossil member of the group is Eophycis from the Early Oligocene of Europe.[2]
