Webster's Third New International Dictionary Unabridged
noun
a submarine bank frequented by cod

"And away Tom went for seven days and seven nights due north-west, till he came to a great codbank, the like of which he never saw before. The great cod lay below in tens of thousands, and gobbled shell-fish all day long; and the blue sharks roved above in hundreds, and gobbled them when they came up."
_from Water Babies - Charles Kingsley, 1937
