Flatfish Species Guide - Plaice, Flounder & Common Characteristics #3476220 (License: Personal Use)

The image features a demersal flatfish with a laterally compressed body, characteristic of the Pleuronectiformes order; its upper side displays mottled brown and olive tones for seabed camouflage, while the underside is pale. Both eyes are positioned on the right side of the head, indicating it is a right-eyed flatfish-common in species like the European plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) or flounder (Platichthys flesus). The fins are well-defined, with a long dorsal fin extending nearly the full length of the body.
