Molva is a genus of lotid fishes, the lings, with these currently recognized species:[1]

Etymology

The generic name derives ultimately from Latin morua ("codfish"),[2] which became morlue in Old French and then molva in Provencal and molve in Modern French.[3][4] Another theory derives it from Breton mor ("sea") and Old French luz ("pike").[5]
