The flounder is morphogenetically unusual. When born it is bilaterally symmetrical, with an eye on each side, and it swims near the surface of the sea. After a few days, however, it begins to lean to one side, and the eye on that side begins to The Flounder to what eventually becomes the top side of the fish. With this development a number of other complex changes in bones, nerves, and muscles occur, and the underside of the flounder loses The Flounder colour. As an adult the fish lives on the bottom, with the eyed side uppermost. Included among the approximately species of the family Pleuronectidae are the European flounder Platichthys flesusa marine and freshwater food and sport fish of Europe that grows to a length of 50 cm 20 inches and weight of 2. Flounders in that family typically have the eyes and colouring on the right side. In the families Bothidae and Paralichthyidae, which together contain more than species, the better-known flounders include the summer flounder The Flounder dentatusan American Atlantic food fish growing to about 90 cm 35 inches ; the peacock flounder Bothus lunatusa tropical American Atlantic species attractively marked with many pale blue spots and rings; the brill Scophthalmus rhombusa relatively large commercial European species, reaching a length of 75 cm 29 inches ; and the dusky flounde r Syacium papillosuma tropical western Atlantic species.

The name "flounder" is used for several only distantly related species, though all are in the suborder Pleuronectoidei families AchiropsettidaeBothidaePleuronectidaeParalichthyidaeand The Flounder. Some of the better known species that are important in fisheries are:. Larval flounder are born with one eye on each side of their head, but as they grow from the larval to juvenile stage through The Flounderone eye migrates to the other side of the body. As a result, both eyes are then on the side which faces up. The side to which the eyes migrate is dependent on the species type. As an adult, a flounder changes its habits and camouflages itself by lying on the bottom of the ocean floor as protection against predators. Flounders ambush The Flounder prey, feeding at soft muddy areas of The Flounder sea bottom, near bridge piles, docks and coral reefs. A flounder's diet consists mainly of fish spawn, crustaceanspolychaetes and small fish. Flounder typically grow to a length of 22—60 centimeters 8. Their width is about half their length. Fluke, a type of flounder, are being farm raised in open water by Mariculture Technologies in Greenport, New York. Most overfishing is due to the extensive activities of the fishing industry.

FRY University of Toronto THE OSMOREGULATORY METABOLISM OF THE STARRY FLOUNDER, PLATICHTYS STELLATUS ABSTRACT Energy demands for osmotic regulation and the possible osmoregulatory role of the thyroid gland were investigated in the euryhaline starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus. Using a melt• ing-point technique, it was established that flounder could regulate body fluid concentration independent of widely divergent environ• mental salinities. Small flounder experienced more rapid disturb• ances of body fluid concentration than large flounder after abrupt salinity alterations. The standard metabolic rate of flounder adapted to fresh water was consistently and significantly less than that of marine flounder. In supernormal salinities standard metabolic rate was significantly greater than in normal sea water.

    Recycled Fish Sculpture Name:__________ Fish: are a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic vertebrate animals that lack limbs with digits. At 32,000 species, fish exhibit greater species diversity than any other group of vertebrates. Sculpture: is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials—typically stone such as marble—or metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic") materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. They may be assembled such as by welding or gluing or by firing, molded or cast. Researched Photo Source: Alaskan Rainbow STEP ONE: CHOOSE one fish from the attached Fish Names list. Trout STEP TWO: RESEARCH on-line and complete the attached K/U Fish Research Sheet. STEP THREE: DRAW 3 conceptual sketches with colour pencil crayons of possible visual images that represent your researched fish. STEP FOUR: Once your fish designs are approved by the teacher, DRAW a representational outline of your fish on the 18 x24 and then add VALUE and COLOUR . CONSIDER: Individual shapes and forms for the various parts you will cut out of recycled pop aluminum cans (such as individual scales, gills, fins etc.) STEP FIVE: CUT OUT using scissors the various individual sections of your chosen fish from recycled pop aluminum cans. OVERLAY them on top of your 18 x 24 Representational Outline 18 x 24 Drawing representational drawing to judge the shape and size of each piece. STEP SIX: Once you have cut out all your shapes and forms, GLUE the various pieces together with a glue gun.
