🐟Capelin
Lodde (Mallotus villosus) er en 11-20 centimeter lang loddefisk, som lever i store stimer i de arktiske farvande. Den er en vigtig art for erhvervsfiskeriet og for havenes økosystemer. Fiskens har et stort udbredelsesområde og danner fødegrundlag for mange af havets rovdyr, eksempelvis torsk og grønlandssæl, der hver især står for omkring 49 % og 38 % af den mængde lodder, som ædes af rovdyr. Fisken har også stor betydning for atlanterhavslaks mindre udbredte arter såsom rødfisk.
