Codling

Codling The term Codling can refer to several different subjects, primarily within the realms of biology and horticulture.

Biology

In the context of biology, a codling is a young Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The Atlantic cod is a species of fish from the family Gadidae, which is found in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the North Atlantic. Codlings are typically smaller and less mature than adult cod, and they play a significant role in the marine ecosystem as both predators and prey.

Horticulture

In horticulture, the term codling is often associated with the Codling moth (Cydia pomonella), a major pest of apple and pear trees. The larvae of the codling moth burrow into the fruit, causing significant damage and making the fruit unsuitable for sale or consumption. Effective management of codling moth populations is crucial for the health and productivity of apple and pear orchards.
