Burbot

The burbot is a cold-water fish that thrives in freshwater lakes and rivers across the subarctic Northern Hemisphere. It's unique for being the only freshwater member of its fish order, which includes ocean dwellers like cod and ling. With its eel-like shape, it stands out among its relatives.

• The burbot is sometimes called 'freshwater cod' due to its relation to saltwater codfish.
• It's the sole freshwater species in its entire order of fish.
• This fish has many nicknames, including 'lawyer' and 'eelpout.'
