elongate freshwater cod of northern Europe and Asia and North America having barbels around its mouth

From Middle English lenge, of Germanic origin. Cognate with Old Norse langa. Probably related to long.

“I was sitting by a path on a tussock between some bushes, whence I could overlook the path and a little valley to which it led down, and where nothing but ling and heather grew.”
“Partridges, enjoying their last weeks of security, rose whirring and clattering from among the ling.”
