The image has been imported as displaying the en:Arctic cod, which is a name used both of en:Arctogadus glacialis and en:Boreogadus saida, and the image used to be widely used in articles of both species as well as of the genus en:Arctogadus. Nevertheless it appears that the fish is rather the saffron cod en:Eleginus gracilis, and the file should be renamed. A character indicating the identity of Eleginus is that the upper jaw is longer than the lower one, unlike in the two other genera. See illustrations in this guide, here or here. Also see en:Talk:Boreogadus saida -- Olaff (talk) 22:37, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
