Silver cod (Anoplopoma fimbria)

Japanese: ギンダラ(銀鱈) - ギンダラ（英語表記）Anoplopoma fimbria

A marine fish of the family Scorpaeniidae in the order Scorpaeniformes (illustration). Its name comes from the shiny silver of its body, but in Canada it is called black cod. However, it is far from being related to fish of the family Gadidae, and is more closely related to the family Falonidae. It is found in an almost continuous range from the southern coast of Hokkaido through the Bering Sea to off the coast of California. It mainly lives on the seabed of the continental shelf slope at depths of 200 to 900 meters. Its body is long and slender, with two dorsal fins separated. Its body color is greenish gray with dark brown net-like spots, and the ventral area is milky white.

カサゴ目ギンダラ科の海産魚（イラスト）。体が銀色に光ることに由来した名であるが，カナダではblack cod(黒ダラ)という。しかし，タラ科の魚とは縁遠く，アイナメ科に近い魚である。北海道の南岸からベーリング海を経てカリフォルニア沖までほぼ連続して分布する。おもに水深200～900mの陸棚斜面の海底で生活する。体は細長く，2基の背びれは離れている。体色は緑灰色で，暗褐色の網目状斑があり，腹方は乳白色である。
