🐟Atlantic cod
Torsk eller atlantisk torsk (Gadus morhua) er en fisk i torskeslægten tilhørende torskefamilien Gadidae. Torsk er vidt udbredt i det østlige Atlanterhav, i Nordsøen og i de indre danske farvande. Den lever både i saltvand og brakvand, og lever primært nær bunden. Dog optræder ældre torsk også pelagisk. Torsk er vigtig for fiskeriet, men fangsterne er gået betydeligt tilbage siden 1990'erne. Torsk anvendes til klipfisk.
