A list of the areas in which the young are found is given in Appendix I. The distribution of young flatfis- hes . in relation to depth, temperature and the salinity of the near—bottom layer, as well as the substrate, is shown in Table 1. From this table, we see that the young of the 'flatfrshes studied by us were caught on various types of substrate, ranging from sand with gravel and pebbles to silty mud, at depths of 1-268 m (predominantly o less than 100 m), at near—bottom temperatures of —1.56 to +9.06 0 0 and a salinity of 22.59-34.33 7 o . *The numbers in the right—hand margin are the pages— cif thé"RuSSiàn text — translator 1 Part 1 (Systematics) published in the Proceedings of the Institute of Oceanology, vol. XI, 1954. SEC 5-25 (Rev. 82/11) Caned. -2- The type of bottom selected by the young of different species 2 of flatfishes is shown in Table 2 . The young of the majority of species of flatfishes live pre- dominantly on sand. The young of the Kamchatka flounder, the Pacific halibut and the eel-back flounder have been encountered only on sand. The young of the rock sole prefer sand and a gravelly-pebbly bottom, and only sometimes are encountered on silty sand. The young of the Pacific black halibut, the Alaska plaice and the yellowfin sole also forage on silty sand. On the other hand, the young of the flathead sole, Nadezhny's flounder, the northern longsnout flounder and Steller's flounder may forage both on silty sand and on silty mud. The fluctuations in the hear-bottom temperature at which the young flatfishes were caught are shown in Table 3. The temperature of the near-bottom layer in the areas inhabited by young flatfishes is usually 0-2 ° C, but it may vary from -1.56 to 0.06 ° C. The young of the Alaska plaice are apparently the most heat-loving of all. The young of this species were caught only at above-zero temperatures. Only the young of the flathead sole and Steller's flounder were caught at temperatures below -1 ° C. The fluctuations in the salinity of the near-bottom layer in the areas of distribution of young flatfishes are shown in Table 4. 2 Tables 2, 3 and 4 were compiled without taking the size of the young into consideration, for we observed no relationship between the size of the young and their distribution according to depth and type of substrate at various salinities and temperatures of the near-bottom layer.

The young of the Pacific black halibut, the rock sole and northern longsnout flounder have been caught in freshened areas (with a salinity of 22.59-27.11 7) . Only young flathead sole have been caught at a fairly high salinity (34.33U. On the basis of the above information, we can say that the young of the majority of flatfishes are encountered predominantly at depths of less than 100 m, on sandy bottoms, at near-bottom temperatures of 0-2 ° C and salinities of 32.0-34.0%, « 4. —6-- • Age and growth of the young On the whole, the growth of young flatfishes is far from being well—researched. Special research has been done only on the growth of young fluke (Pleuronectes flesus) in a fertilized sea loch (Loch Craiglin) (Gross, 1947). In the Far Eastern seas, the growth of young flatfishes has been studied only to a small degree by Japanese scientists (Ishida, Kitakata and Ishigaki, 1952; Ishida and Kitaka- 316) ta, 1953).
