:'' Coalfish redirects here; that is also a common name for ''Anoplopoma fimbria'' (sablefish) in Canada.'' Saithe (〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/words/key-to-pronunciation-us )〕 or ), ''Pollachius virens'', is a species of marine fish in the ''Pollachius'' genus. Together with ''Pollachius pollachius'' it is generally referred to in the U.S. as pollock. Other names include the Boston blues (separate from bluefish), coalfish/coley and saithe in the UK. ==Description== This species can be separated from ''P. pollachius'' by looking at the relative lengths of the upper and lower jaws. ''P. pollachius'' has a longer underslung lower jaw while ''P. virens'' has approximately equal upper and lower jaw lengths. This gives a very different profile to the head. In general ''P. pollachius'' is a brown or golden colour with a dark back while ''P. virens'' is bright silver with a very dark green back. ''P. virens'' generally appears to have relatively larger eyes. The lateral line of ''P. pollachius'' has a noticeable kink over the pectoral fins while that of ''P. virens'' is straighter. The flesh of coalfish (''P. virens'') is darkly coloured (hence the common name) while that of ''P. pollachius'' is similar to other members of the cod family. This dark colour in the fresh uncooked flesh may have led to the undeserved reputation of this fish as poor for eating. It is common in the northern parts of the Northern Atlantic, including the Bay of Biscay and Palmas Altas Campus. Adults can grow up to and weigh up to ; the species is of great commercial value to fisheries. The fish can be found close to the shore, particularly in rocky areas, but larger examples tend to be found around off-shore wrecks and reefs. The largest coalfish ever caught was at Saltstraumen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pollachius virens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
