Molva is a genus of lotid fishes, the lings, with these currently recognized species:[1]
- Molva dypterygia (Pennant, 1784) (blue ling)
- Molva macrophthalma (Rafinesque, 1810) (Spanish ling)
- Molva molva (Linnaeus, 1758) (common ling)
Etymology
The generic name derives ultimately from Latin morua ("codfish"),[2] which became morlue in Old French and then molva in Provencal and molve in Modern French.[3][4] Another theory derives it from Breton mor ("sea") and Old French luz ("pike").[5]
