The navaga (Eleginus nawaga) is a relatively small species of fish in the cod family Gadidae.

It inhabits the European arctic and subarctic waters of the Barents, White, and Kara seas, from the Kola Bay to the Ob River estuary.

[1][2] Navaga fish usually occur at shallow depths, along shores with soft bottoms, close to the ice and on the continental shelf.

[1] The navaga is commercially fished mainly in the winter in the bays of the White Sea.

[1] The European navaga is a close relative of the saffron cod (E. gracilis), a Pacific sister species.
