===Other species=== Some fish commonly known as cod are unrelated to ''Gadus''. Part of this name confusion is market-driven. Severely shrunken Atlantic cod stocks have led to the marketing of cod replacements using [[culinary name]]s of the form "''x'' cod", according to culinary rather than phyletic similarity. The common names for the following species have become well established; note that all inhabit the [[Southern Hemisphere]]. ==== Perciformes ==== Fish of the [[order (biology)|order]] [[Perciformes]] that are commonly called "cod" include: *[[Blue cod]] ''Parapercis colias'' *[[Eastern freshwater cod]] ''Maccullochella ikei'' *[[Mary River cod]] ''Maccullochella mariensis'' *[[Murray cod]] ''Maccullochella peelii'' *[[Potato cod]] ''Epinephelus tukula'' *[[Sleepy cod]] ''Oxyeleotris lineolatus'' *[[Trout cod]] ''Maccullochella macquariensis'' *The notothen family, [[Nototheniidae]], including: **[[Antarctic cod]] ''Dissostichus mawsoni'' ***''Dissostichus eliginoides'', the [[Patagonian toothfish]], is also marketed as "cod" **[[Notothenia microlepidota|Black cod]] ''Notothenia microlepidota'' **[[Maori cod]] ''Paranotothenia magellanica'' ==== Rock cod, reef cod, and coral cod ==== Almost all [[coral cod]], [[reef cod]] or [[rock cod]] are also in order [[Perciformes]]. Most are better known as [[grouper]]s, and belong to the family [[Serranidae]]. Others belong to the [[Nototheniidae]]. Two exceptions are the [[Australasia]]n [[red rock cod]], which belongs to a different order (see below), and the fish known simply as the rock cod and as [[soft cod]] in New Zealand, ''[[Lotella rhacina]]'', which as noted above actually is related to the true cod (it is a morid cod). ==== Scorpaeniformes ==== From the order [[Scorpaeniformes]]: *[[Ling cod]] ''Ophiodon elongatus'' *[[Red rock cod]] ''Scorpaena papillosa'' *Rock cod ''[[Sebastes]]'' ==== Ophidiiformes ==== The tadpole cod family, [[Ranicipitidae]], and the [[Eucla cod]] family, [[Euclichthyidae]], were formerly classified in the order [[Ophidiiformes]], but are now grouped with the [[Gadiformes]].
