FAO Names En - Indian halibut, Fr - Turbot épineux-indien, Sp - Lenguado espinudo-indio. 3Alpha Code: HAI Taxonomic Code: 1830700101 Diagnostic Features Body oval and flat, but thicker than in most other flatfishes. Mouth large with strong teeth; maxillary extends well beyond hind edge of lower eye; both eyes on left or right side; upper eye lying immediately below dorsal edge. Gillrakers not developed. Dorsal fin origin well posterior to eyes; anterior fin rays spinous. Lateral line almost straight. Colour usually brown-grey, sometimes with 4 broad, dark crossbars. Dorsal, anal and caudal fin tips blanck. Blind side occassionally partially coloured. Geographical Distribution FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Department Launch the Aquatic Species Distribution map viewer Found almost throughout the area, except south of Delagoa Bay and off the southwest, south and east coast of Madagascar. Also widespread in the Eastern Indian Ocean and Western Central Pacific. Habitat and Biology Benthic, Lives on muddy and sandy bottomsof the continental shelf down to about 100 meters depth.Feeds mainly on bottom-living animals (usually piscivorous). Size Maximum about 60 cm; common to 40 cm. Interest to Fisheries Caught mainly with bottom trawls. The most common fishing techniques are "demersal bottom trawling" and "groundfish longlining". The total catch reported for this species to FAO for 1999 was 19 170 t. The countries with the largest catches were Indonesia (10 420 t) and Thailand (7 900 t). Marketed mainly fresh. Utilized also smoked and frozen. Processed into fish flour.

There are four major families of flatfish with representative species found in the Gambian nearshore waters: Soleidae, Cynoglossidae, Psettododae and Paralichthyidae. The species below have been confirmed through literature review, and through discussions with local fishermen, processors and the Gambian Department of Fisheries.

  • Heavy Metal Accumulation in Marine Fishes in Porirua Harbour
    HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN MARINE FISHES IN PORIRUA HARBOUR A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Marine Biology Liana Cook-Auckram 2019 School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington 1 Acknowledgments I would firstly like to acknowledge my primary supervisor Nicole Philips and my secondary supervisor Matt Dunn, I could not have asked for more supportive supervisors. Your endless advice and encouragement, together with thorough proof-reading of my thesis has been appreciated. A special thank you to the NIWA scientists, especially Warrick Lyon whom went out of his way to provide advice on rig shark and field techniques. I would also like to acknowledge Darren Stevens and Peter Mcmillan for their expert assistance in flatfish aging and identification. I would also like to extend my gratitude to PhD candidate of the University of Waikato, Helen Cadwallader for her expert advice on stingrays and sending me biopsy tools to collect samples from the lower North Island for her thesis. I would also like to thank the Victoria University Coastal Ecology (VUCEL), especially the tehnicians John Van der Sman and Daniel McNaughtan, who were always eager to provide me with resource and advice on laboratory procedures. I would also like to thank the VUCEL community (primarily Alison Duncan, Andrea Fagetti & Paul Wolf) for being welcoming and providing statistics tutorials. I would also like to thank all my field volunteers, in particular my brother, who helped me collect data in the field. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to complete my research to such a high standard.

  • Supplementary Information Doi: 10.1038/Nclimate1691
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE1691 Shrinking of fishes exacerbates impacts of global ocean changes on marine ecosystems Supplementary information Method Dynamic Bioclimate Envelope Model (DBEM) As a first step, we predicted the current (19702000) distribution map of each species an algorithm described in [1,2]. This algorithm estimates the relative abundance of a species on a 30’ latitude x 30’ longitude grid of the world ocean. Input parameters for DBEM include the species’ maximum and minimum depth limits, northern and southern latitudinal range limits, an index of association to major habitat types (seamounts, estuaries, inshore, offshore, continental shelf, continental slope and the abyssal) and known occurrence boundaries. The parameter values of each species, which are posted on the Sea Around Us Project website (http://www.seaaroundus.org/distribution/search.aspx), were derived from data in online databases, mainly FishBase (www.fishbase.org). Jones et al. 3 compared the predicted species distribution from this algorithm with empirically observed occurrence records and found that the algorithm has high predictive power, and that its skills are comparable with other commonly used species distribution modelling approach for marine species such as Maxent4 and Aquamap5. As a second step, we used DBEM to identify the ‘environmental preference profiles’ of the studied species, defined by outputs from the Earth System Models, including sea water temperature (bottom and surface), depth, salinity, distance from seaice and habitat types. Preference profiles are defined as the suitability of each of these environmental conditions to each species, with suitability calculated by overlaying environmental data (19702000) with maps of relative abundance of the species 6.
