Gadus capelanus (Lacepède, 1800)

Trisopterus capelanus is a fish species belonging to the cod family (Gadidae). It is found in the Mediterranean Sea.[2][3]

The taxonomic status of Trisopterus capelanus has until recently been unclear, and it has been mostly considered to be a subspecies of Trisopterus minutus. However, genetic[2][4] and morphometric[2] analyses clearly support the status of Trisopterus capelanus as a separate species. In fact, Trisopterus capelanus is more closely related to Trisopterus luscus than to T. minutus.[2][4]

The neotype of Trisopterus capelanus is 21 cm (8.3 in) in standard length and 23 cm (9.1 in) in total length.[2]
