===Related species=== ''Cod'' forms part of the [[common name]] of many other fish no longer classified in the genus ''Gadus''. Many are members of the family [[Gadidae]]; others are members of three related families within the order [[Gadiformes]] whose names include the word "cod": the [[morid cod]]s, [[Moridae]] (100 or so species); the eel cods, [[Muraenolepididae]] (four species); and the [[Eucla cod]], [[Euclichthyidae]] (one species). The tadpole cod family ([[Ranicipitidae]]) has now been placed in Gadidae. {| class=wikitable |- |+{{nowrap|"Cod" in the order Gadiformes, but not part of ''Gadus''}} |- ! Common name !
