Gadidae is a family of marine fish, included in the order Gadiformes. It includes the cod, haddock, whiting, and pollock. Some other forms once included here have since been removed to other families; on the other hand, the Tadpole cod family Ranicipitidae has now been absorbed into Gadidae (it only contains one species, the Tadpole fish Raniceps raninus).
