Trisopterus luscus, commonly known as pouting, is a small marine fish in the family Gadidae, which includes the cods and near relatives. The species occurs mainly in European waters, particularly around the British Isles, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean Sea, and the coast of North Africa. They live over rocky and sandy seabeds at depths of up to 300 metres (980 ft), with smaller specimens being found closer to the shore. With a typical adult length of around 30 centimetres (12 in), they mature quickly and generally live for about four years. They are scavengers which feed on the seabed, with marine worms, shellfish and dead fish typically making up their diet. Once regarded as low-value bycatch, they have become increasingly important as a relatively sustainable commercial fish. This T. luscus fish was photographed in Arrábida Natural Park, Portugal.
