Gadus capelanus (Lacepède, 1800) Trisopterus capelanus is a fish species belonging to the cod family (Gadidae).

It is found in the Mediterranean Sea.

[2][3] The taxonomic status of Trisopterus capelanus has until recently been unclear, and it has been mostly considered to be a subspecies of Trisopterus minutus.

However, genetic[2][4] and morphometric[2] analyses clearly support the status of Trisopterus capelanus as a separate species.

[2][4] The neotype of Trisopterus capelanus is 21 cm (8.3 in) in standard length and 23 cm (9.1 in) in total length.
