In the French/Belgian editions of Tintin is Captain Haddock called "Capitaine Aiglefin/Eglefin" (the French word for "Haddock") or "Captain Haddock"?

According to our Tintin characters in different languages guide, the Captain is Capitaine Haddock in the French language edition.

It should be pointed out that the word "haddock" is used in French, but to refer to the fish when it has been smoked, so technically it doesn't have to be translated.
