Insights into the Mitochondrial Genetic Makeup and Miocene Colonization of Primitive Flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes: Psettodidae) in the East Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific Ocean [PDF]
Biology, 2023 The mitogenomic evolution of the Psettodes flatfishes is still poorly known from their range distribution in eastern Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific Oceans.

Interannual variability in early life phenology is driven by climate and oceanic processes in two NE Atlantic flatfishes [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Early life phenology is a crucial factor for population dynamics in a climate change scenario. As such, understanding how the early life cycle of marine fishes is influenced by key oceanic and climate drivers is of chief importance for sustainable ...

First case of a reversed Parabothus taiwanensis Amaoka & Shen, 1993 from Taiwan (Pleuronectiformes: Bothidae), with first evidence of situs inversus viscerum in bothid [PDF]
PeerJBackground Reversed condition is rarely found in most flatfishes in natural environment, except for some certain species. The mechanism controlling the reversals in flatfishes has been studied in some cultivated species, whereas some have only few cases ...

Eye-sidedness does not drive differences in growth and maturation in the Indian halibut (Psettodes erumei) from the Western Arabian Gulf [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe Indian halibut Psettodes erumei (Family Psettodidae), a primitive lineage of flatfishes exhibiting both sinistral and dextral morphs, provides a unique model for examining the evolutionary significance of morphological asymmetry in flatfishes.

Genome-wide chromatin accessibility and gene expression profiling during flatfish metamorphosis [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 Metamorphosis is a widely studied post-embryonic process in which many tissues undergo dramatic modifications to adapt to the new adult lifestyle. Flatfishes represent a good example of metamorphosis in teleost fishes.

Reconciling seascape genetics and fisheries science in three codistributed flatfishes [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Uncertainty hampers innovative mixed‐fisheries management by the scales at which connectivity dynamics are relevant to management objectives. The spatial scale of sustainable stock management is species‐specific and depends on ecology, life history and ...

Photoreceptor distributions, visual pigments and the opsin repertoire of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Fishes often have cone photoreceptors organized in lattice-like mosaic formations. In flatfishes, these lattices undergo dramatic changes during metamorphosis whereby a honeycomb mosaic of single cones in the larva is replaced by a square mosaic of ...
