An overview of the second flatfish symposium: Recruitment in flatfish
Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 1994The Second International Flatfish Symposium was focused around recruitment and opened with a challenge and a question. The challenge was to intensify and clarify our thinking about recruitment. The question was: why, after nearly a century of concerted efforts, do we not yet understand (have the ability to predict) variability in year-class strength of

Pigment abnormalities in flatfish
Aquaculture, 1999Abstract Pigment abnormalities have been reported to occur on both sides of flatfish. Hypomelanosis or pseudo-albinism, characterized by white patches or areas devoid of normal pigmentation on the ocular surface of the skin, is common in both wild and hatchery reared flatfish. The blind side may display hypermelanosis in the form of dark spots, known

The physiology of flatfish chromatophores
Microscopy Research and Technique, 2002AbstractMost flatfish, of the order Pleuronectiformes, possess a white lower side, and a brown or grey upper side. This upper side can display integumentary patterning with dark areas and colored or white spots. Chromatophores in flatfish are dermal and epidermal melanophores, as well as dermal xanthophores, erythrophores, iridophores, and leucophores,

Mitochondrial genomic investigation of flatfish monophyly
Gene, 2014We present the first study to use whole mitochondrial genome sequences to examine phylogenetic affinities of the flatfishes (Pleuronectiformes). Flatfishes have attracted attention in evolutionary biology since the early history of the field because understanding the evolutionary history and patterns of diversification of the group will shed light on ...

Respiratory Currents of Flatfish
Nature, 1967WE have observed specimens of the following species of flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) in an aquarium with a transparent bottom: Scophthalmus maximus (L.) (Bothidae); Limanda limanda (L.), Pleuronectes platessa L. and Platichthys flesus (L.) (Pleuronectidae); Solea solea (L.) and Buglossidium luteutn (Risso) (Soleidae).

Flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) chromatic biology
Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, 2009The following aspects of flatfish skin coloration are reviewed. (1) The variety of chromatophores which contribute to the complex integumentary patterns; their relative sizes and numerical distribution. (2) Interspecific variations and intraspecific changes in skin patterns.

Retinomotor Changes in Flatfishes
Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada, 1965This histological study is concerned with demonstrating the existence of retinomotor changes in flatfishes. In three species, selected as representatives (sole, Solea solea; plaice, Pleuronectes platessa; and merry sole, Microstomus kitt), it is shown that normal radial displacements of rods, cones, and retinal pigment take place in expected ...

Opercular Jetting During Fast-Starts by Flatfishes
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1997ABSTRACT When attacked by predators, flatfishes perform fast-starts that result in a rapid take-off from the ocean bottom on which they lie. High-speed video recordings of the blind side of flatfishes indicate that they expel a coherent jet of water from the blind-side opercular valve during take-off. Buccal pressure recordings in winter
