Winter kill in Frenchman's Bay. I think someone found this guy dead and threw him up on the bank. The Burbot has the distinction of being the sole representative of the codfish family in fresh water. All its relatives live in the sea. It is also commonly called ling, lawyer, and eelpout. The burbot is found throughout Ontario from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay. From the eastern portion of Hudson Bay drainage, it ranges to Connecticut, Delaware and Susquehanna systems and all the Great Lakes basins; in the Missouri River system, south to Missouri, Kansas and Wyoming; in the Mississippi River and tributaries, throughout Minnesota and northwest to Alaska. The same species occurs in the waters of northern Europe and Asia.
