Tusk [Brosmodorsalis]

Description

Brosmodorsalis is a proposed genus in the family Lotidae, distinct from Brosme, though its classification is subject to ongoing research and debate. It has been suggested based on morphological differences observed in certain populations of cusk-like fish, indicating potential speciation within what has traditionally been considered a single species under the genus Brosme. These differences include variations in the dorsal fin structure and body proportions. Current scientific consensus has not fully established Brosmodorsalis as a separate genus, and further genetic and morphological studies are required to clarify the relationships within this group of fish.
