POUT , also See also:

whiting-pout or bib (Gadus luscus), a See also:fish of the See also:family Gadidae. It is a small See also:species abundant on the coasts of See also:northern and western See also:Europe, but less so in the Mediterranean. It is distinguished from other species of the genus Gadus by having a deep See also:short See also:body, with more or less distinct dark bars; a short and obtuse snout, not longer than the See also:eye; the upper See also:jaw the longer; and a See also:long See also:barbel at the See also:chin. A See also:black spot occupies the upper See also:part of the See also:base of the See also:pectoral fin. Pout affect certain localities of limited extent, where a number may be caught with See also:hook and See also:line. They are excellent See also:food, but must be eaten soon after See also:capture. A pout of 5 lb is considered a very large specimen.
