Not the same species surely? We catch the Atlantic Cod, Gadus morhua.

Probably is the same species Mike. The largest cod ever recorded (commercially caught) was off the Grand Banks and weighed in at a whopping 212lb, exact same species. The IGFA all tackle record came from Isle of Shoals, New Hampshire USA (Gadhus morhua) in 1969 and weighed in at 98lb 12 oz.

Yep same one : Gadus morhua the Atlantic cod range from the north and eastern coast of North America, around the southern tip of Greenland across the north Atlantic to the waters around Iceland, the Faroes, the North Sea and the Barents Sea. It is found all around the British coast, reaching south to the Bay of Biscay
