Description: The ling is a long, slender, greenish-brown scaleless fish with a barbel. It is the cod's largest relative and can grow to nearly 2 meters (6 ft) in length. In the Atlantic they live near rocks, eating flatfish, round fish and small crustaceans and octopus, though it is occasionally found in the Mediterrean. A smaller variety lives in the Mediterranean (blue ling).
