Poor Cod

Trisopterus minutus (Linnaeus 1758)

Brief Summary

provided by Ecomare
Poor cod are small fish, approximately 25 centimeters long. They live in small schools close to the sea floor or by wrecks along the coast. They closely resemble bib, but are more slender and have a black spot at the base of the pectoral fins. They eat mostly crustaceans as well as worms and small fish. Poor cod is not commercially interesting. They are thrown back into the water when caught or processed into fish meal.

Brief Summary ( Dutch; Flemish )

provided by Ecomare
Dwergbolken leven in kleine scholen dicht bij de zeebodem of bij wrakken langs de kust. Ze lijken sterk op steenbolken, maar dwergbolken zijn slanker. Ze eten het liefst kreeftachtigen, maar ook wel wormen en kleine visjes. Voor de visserij is de vis niet van belang. Ze worden teruggegooid of verwerkt tot vismeel.
