Jed Gould, AKA "Jed The Fish" -- a longtime DJ at renowned L.A. rock radio station KROQ -- has died, TMZ has learned.

Jed last spun records on the air there in 2012, when he left his afternoon slot, and later returned as host of a 1980s-music-themed satellite show, and he's worked a couple other station gigs around California, before and after his KROQ tenure.
