The Chinese word for haddock glosses as black-line-cod. The English dictionary confirms that haddock is a type of cod - both are members of the family Gadidae (I didn't check this all that thoroughly - this seemed better than just "fish" %^) I know nothing about declensions of classical languages, so I didn;t even try to guess what Nick would do with the family name. lojbab
