Trisopterus is a genus of small cods, family Gadidae. They are native to the northeastern Atlantic Ocean including the Mediterranean Sea.
Species There are currently four recognized species in this genus: Trisopterus capelanus (Lacepède, 1800) Trisopterus esmarkii (Nilsson, 1855) (Norway pout) Trisopterus luscus (Linnaeus, 1758) (pouting) Trisopterus minutus (Linnaeus, 1758) (poor cod)
Trisopterus capelanus was until recently (2011) considered to be a subspecies of Trisopterus minutus, but both genetic and morphometric data clearly support the status of Trisopterus capelanus as a separate species.
