Winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus Flowery flounder, Bothus mancus, Bahía de la Chiva, at Hawaii. Flounders are a group of flatfish species. They are demersal fish, found at the bottom of oceans around the world; some species will also enter estuaries.
The smallmouth flounder is a lefteyed flatfish, and is therefore very thin when lying on its side. Its mouth and eyes lie on the same side of its body, and are small compared to the rest of its head, and the lateral line has approximately 41 to 45 scales. The left pelvic fin lies below the lateral line, about one quarter down its body.
Paralichthys lethostigma, the southern flounder, is a species of large-tooth flounder native to the East Coast of the United States and the northern Gulf of Mexico. It is a popular sport fish and is the largest and most commercially valuable flounder in the western North Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. [ 2 ]
The pelvic fins are of equal size in female members of the species, but the right fin is larger in males. The fish is brown on the visible side of its body, and white on its blind side. It is colored dark brown on the upper side of its body, and a brownish white on the lower part of its body.
Large-tooth flounders or sand flounders are a family, Paralichthyidae, of flounders. [1] [2] The family contains 14 genera with a total of about 110 species.They lie on the sea bed on their right side; both eyes are always on the left side of the head, while the Pleuronectidae usually (but not always) have their eyes on the right side of the head.
The guppy (Poecilia reticulata), also known as millionfish or the rainbow fish, [3] is one of the world's most widely distributed tropical fish and one of the most popular freshwater aquarium fish species. It is a member of the family Poeciliidae and, like almost all American members of the family, is live-bearing. [4]
Gulf flounder appear to prefer the ocean floor and camouflage against areas to stealthily strike their prey. This demersal species occurs in shallow depths within estuaries and coastal environments; it is most commonly found on the continental shelf at depths of 18–92 m, but has been collected to about 130 m.
