Gadus is a genus of demersal fish in the family Gadidae, commonly known as cod, although there are additional cod species in other genera. The best known member of the genus is the Atlantic cod.

Species

Today, three species in the genus are recognized: Modern taxonomy included Alaska pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus), which is genetically not separate from Norway pollock. Greenland cod (G. ogac) that was considered an own species, is considered the same species as Pacific cod (G. macrocephalus).
