Gadus macrocephalus Tilesius, 1810 .

Gray Cod, Pacific Cod, or True Cod. To 120 cm (47.2 in) TL ( Morrow 1980). Arctic-boreal waters of Pacific and Atlantic Oceans (Atlantic range now includes Gadus ogac Richardson, 1837 ) ( Mecklenburg et al. 2011). Chukchi and Beaufort Seas (across Canada to west Greenland to Gulf of Saint Lawrence) ( Mecklenburg et al. 2011); Yellow Sea off Manchuria, China to Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to Carlsbad (33°08’N, 117°35’W), southern California (Personal communication: Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History Fish Collection, Los Angeles, California). Perhaps also in White Sea ( Mecklenburg and Steinke 2015). Benthic, also pelagic over deep water; marine and brackish waters ( Dyldin and Orlov 2017); depth: intertidal ( Miller et al. 1980), near surface to 1,280 m (4,198 ft) ( Orlov and Tokranov 2019). We consider Gadus ogac Richardson, 1836 to be a synonym ( Mecklenburg et al. 2018), but considered a separate species in Fricke et al. (2020).
