Cod
Cod is the common name for the genus "Gadus" of demersal fishes, belonging to the family Gadidae. Cod is also used as part of the common name for a number of other fish species, and some species suggested to belong to genus "Gadus" are not called cod (the Alaska pollock). The two most common species of cod are the Atlantic cod ("Gadus morhua"), which lives in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the North Atlantic, and the Pacific cod ("Gadus macrocephalus"), found in both eastern and western regions of the northern Pacific. "Gadus morhua" was named by Linnaeus in 1758. (However, "G. morhua callarias", a low-salinity, nonmigratory race restricted to parts of the Baltic, was originally described as "Gadus callarias" by Linnaeus.)
Cod fisheries
Cod fisheries are fisheries for cod. Cod is the common name for fish of the genus "Gadus", belonging to the family Gadidae, and this article is confined to the three species that belong to this genus: the Atlantic cod, the Pacific cod and the Greenland cod. Cod are demersal fish found in huge schools confined to temperate waters in the northern hemisphere. Atlantic cod are found in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the Northern Atlantic. The Pacific cod is found in both eastern and western regions of the Pacific. Atlantic cod can grow to in length. Its average weight is , but specimens weighing up to have been recorded.
Atlantic cod
The Atlantic cod ("Gadus morhua") is a benthopelagic fish of the family Gadidae, widely consumed by humans. It is also commercially known as cod or codling. Dry cod may be prepared as unsalted stockfish, as cured salt cod or clipfish. In the western Atlantic Ocean, cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and around both coasts of Greenland and the Labrador Sea; in the eastern Atlantic, it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Sea of the Hebrides, areas around Iceland and the Barents Sea. The largest individual on record was 6 feet (1.8 m) long and weighed 211 lb (96 kg), however usually the cod is between 24 inches (61 cm) and 4 feet (1.2 m) long, and weighs 88 lb (40 kg).
List of diseases and parasites in cod
Cod and related species in the family Gadidae are susceptible to a variety of diseases and parasites. "Lernaeocera branchialis", the "cod worm", is a copepod that infects gadoids. The first host used by cod worm is a flatfish or lumpsucker, which it captures with grasping hooks at the front of its body. It penetrates the lumpsucker with a thin filament which it uses to suck the host's blood. The nourished cod worm then mates with another one on the lumpsucker. The female worm, with her now fertilized eggs, then finds a cod, or a cod-like fish, such as a haddock or whiting. There, the worm clings to the gills while it metamorphoses into a plump, sinusoidal, wormlike body, with a coiled mass of egg strings at the rear.
Gadidae
The Gadidae are a family of marine fish, included in the order Gadiformes, known as the cods, codfishes or true cods. It contains several commercially important fishes, including the cod, haddock, whiting, and pollock. Most gadid species are found in temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere, but several range into subtropical, Subarctic and Arctic oceans, and a single (southern blue whiting) is found in the Southern Hemisphere. They are generally medium-sized fish, and are distinguished by the presence of three dorsal fins on the back and two anal fins on the underside. Most species have barbels on their chins, which they use while browsing on the sea floor.
Guttigadus globosus
Guttigadus globosus, the tadpole cod, is a deepwater fish found in the oceanic islands off New Zealand and in the mid South Atlantic at depths ranging from 1200 to 1600 m.   The tadpole cod is a member of the family Moridae, the morid cods, related to the true cods (of genus "Gadus", family Gadidae). Like the familiar Atlantic cod, it has small whiskers (barbels) on its mouth. Specimens have been measured up to 18 cm. It has no commercial value, and is not currently believed to be endangered. Not much is known about this species, being discovered in 1986. The tadpole cod is distinct from the tadpole fish, "Raniceps raninus".
Arctogadus glacialis
Arctogadus glacialis, known also with ambiguous common names Arctic cod and polar cod, is an Arctic species of fish in the cod family Gadidae, related to the true cod (genus "Gadus"). "Arctogadus glacialis" is found in icy water. They grow to about 30 cm long, and are favorite food of narwhals and other arctic whales. The common names "Arctic cod" and "polar cod" can refer to either "Arctogadus glacialis" or "Boreogadus saida", and "Arctic cod" may also refer to "Eleginus nawaga". Another Arctic gadid, the East Siberian cod ("Arctogadus borisovi"), was until recently considered the closest relative of "A. glacialis".

I like Cod but only eat Wild Caught Cod. I prefer to eat fish that is not farm raised due to the pesticides in the food.

Yes the two most common are atlanticcod and pacific cod
Cod is also used as part of the common name for a number of other fish species, and some species suggested to belong to genus "Gadus" are not called cod (the Alaska pollock).

Pacific cod
The Pacific cod, "Gadus macrocephalus", is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Gadidae. It is a bottom-dwelling fish found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, mainly on the continental shelf and upper slopes, to depths of about . It can grow to a length of a meter or so and is found in large schools. It is an important commercial food species and is also known as gray cod or grey cod, and grayfish or greyfish. Fishing for this species is regulated with quotas being allotted for hook and line fishing, pots, and bottom trawls. It has three separate dorsal fins, and the catfish-like whiskers on its lower jaw.

John Nathan Cobb
John Nathan Cobb (February 20, 1868 – January 13, 1930) was an American author, naturalist, conservationist, canneryman, and educator who attained a high position in academia without the benefit of a college education. In a career that began as a printer's aide for a newspaper, he worked as a stenographer and clerk, a newspaper reporter, a field agent for the U.S. Fish Commission (USFC) and its successor, the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, as an editor for a commercial fishing trade magazine of the Pacific Northwest, and as a supervisor for companies in the commercial fishing industry. In 1919, Cobb was appointed the founding director of the College of Fisheries at the University of Washington (UW), the first such college established in the United States.
American Seafoods
American Seafoods Company is one of the largest seafood companies in North America and one of the largest harvesters of fish in the world. Based in Seattle, Washington, ASC owns and operates six large catcher-processor vessels that harvest and process on board fish caught in the U.S. waters of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. The company is well known for its products made from Alaska pollock, Pacific (whiting) hake, Yellowfin sole, and Pacific cod. These products are sold throughout North America, Asia and Europe. American Seafoods Company is the largest harvester in the U.S. Bering Sea Alaska Pollock fishery with approximately 45% of the catcher-processor market share.
Greenland cod
The Greenland cod ("Gadus ogac"), commonly known also as ogac, is a species of ray-finned fish in the cod family, Gadidae. Genetic analysis has shown that it may be the same species as the Pacific cod ("Gadus macrocephalus"). It is a bottom-dwelling fish and is found on the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean and northwestern Atlantic Ocean, its range extending from Alaska to West Greenland, then southwards along the Canadian coast to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Cape Breton Island. It is a commercially harvested food fish, but landings have been greatly reduced in recent years. Molecular genetic analyses strongly suggest that Greenland cod is not different from Pacific cod, "Gadus macrocephalus" - "Gadus ogac" is then a junior synonym of "G. macrocephalus".

Most cod sold in stores is farm raised, and also the cod you eat in restaurants.

Jackfruit
The jackfruit ("Artocarpus heterophyllus"), also known as jack tree, fenne, jakfruit, or sometimes simply jack or jak, is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry, and breadfruit family (Moraceae) native to southwest India. The jackfruit tree is well suited to tropical lowlands, and its fruit is the largest tree-borne fruit, reaching as much as in weight, in length, and in diameter. A mature jackfruit tree can produce about 100 to 200 fruits in a year. The jackfruit is a multiple fruit, composed of hundreds to thousands of individual flowers, and it is the fleshy petals that are eaten. The jackfruit tree is a widely cultivated and popular food item throughout the tropical regions of the world.
Florida pompano
The Florida pompano ("Trachinotus carolinus") is a species of marine fish in the "Trachinotus" (pompano) genus of the family Carangidae. It has a compressed body and short snout; coloration varies from blue-greenish silver on the dorsal areas and silver to yellow on the body and fins. It can be found along the western coast of the Atlantic Ocean, depending on the season, and is popular for both sport and commercial fishing. Most Florida pompano caught weigh less than and are less than long, though the largest individuals weigh and reach lengths up to . Because it is fast-growing and desirable for food, the pompano is one of the many fish that is currently being farmed through aquaculture.
Cod as food
This article is about cod and other cod-like fishes from the family of Gadidae, such as haddock, pollock and whiting, regarded as food. Cod is popular as a food with a mild flavour and a dense, flaky white flesh. Young Atlantic cod or haddock prepared in strips for cooking is called scrod. Cod's soft liver can be canned or fermented into cod liver oil, providing an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). Cod flesh is moist and flaky when cooked and is white in colour. In the United Kingdom Atlantic cod is one of the most common ingredients in fish and chips, along with haddock and plaice.
Indonesian cuisine
Indonesian cuisine is one of the most vibrant and colourful cuisines in the world, full of intense flavour. It is eclectic and diverse, in part because Indonesia is composed of approximately 6,000 populated islands of the total 17,508 in the world's largest archipelago, with more than 300 ethnic groups calling Indonesia home. Many regional cuisines exist, often based upon indigenous culture and foreign influences. Indonesia has around 5,350 traditional recipes, with 30 of them considered the most important. Indonesia's cuisine may include rice, noodle and soup dishes in modest local eateries to street-side snacks and top-dollar plates.
Filipino cuisine
Filipino cuisine (Filipino: "Lutuing Filipino" or "Pagkaing Filipino") is composed of the cuisines of 135 distinct ethno-linguistic tribes found within the Philippine archipelago, however, majority of mainstream Filipino dishes that compose Filipino cuisine are from the cuisines of the Bikol, Chabakano, Hiligaynon, Ilokano, Kapampangan, Meranaw, Pangasinan, Sebwano (or Bisaya), Tagalog, and Waray ethno-linguistic tribes. The style of cooking and the food associated with it have evolved over many centuries from their Austronesian origins (shared with Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines) to a mixed cuisine of Indian, Chinese, Spanish, and American influences, in line with the major waves of influence that had enriched the cultures of the archipelago, as well as others adapted to indigenous ingredients and the local palate.
