Saithe (/seɪð/ or /seɪθ/),Pollachius virens, is a species of marine fish in the Pollachius genus. Together with Pollachius pollachius it is generally referred to in the U.S. as pollock. Other names include the Boston blues (separate from bluefish), coalfish/coley and saithe in the UK.
This species can be separated from P. pollachius by looking at the relative lengths of the upper and lower jaws. P. pollachius has a longer underslung lower jaw while P. virens has approximately equal upper and lower jaw lengths. This gives a very different profile to the head. In general P. pollachius is a brown or golden colour with a dark back while P. virens is bright silver with a very dark green back. P. virens generally appears to have relatively larger eyes. The lateral line of P. pollachius has a noticeable kink over the pectoral fins while that of P. virens is straighter.
The flesh of coalfish (P. virens) is darkly coloured (hence the common name) while that of P. pollachius is similar to other members of the cod family. This dark colour in the fresh uncooked flesh may have led to the undeserved reputation of this fish as poor for eating.
Coley is a Canadian indie rock band, from Sherbrooke, Quebec. The band is the brainchild of singer/guitarist JF Coley, joined by Jocelyn Blanchette on the drums and David Jalbert on bass. Their musical style has been referred to as a "post-grunge throwback to British 60's pop". Their latest album, Crossing the Rubicon, discusses political and social issues facing the Eastern Townships of Quebec and its community.
Coming from a musical family, JF started performing at age 3, in a violin ensemble. After graduating from Mount Allison University (where JF was in a band, Smiling Politely, composed of future members of In-Flight Safety) JF was recruited by Sarnia, Ontario band Flicker.
Over the next year, JF would perform with some of Canada's top bands, like Our Lady Peace, Nickelback, The Guess Who, Treble Charger, etc... After Canadian Music Week 2003, JF returned to the Eastern Townships where he would now base his operations. Aware that the Quebec sovereignty movement had negatively affected the Eastern Townships (where the culture had always celebrated a happy coexistence between Francophones and anglophones), JF started working with CJMQ-FM to promote the local culture and celebrate a unique region of North America.
