Flounder

By Ocean Animals

The Flounder is a unique flatfish found in oceanic and coastal waters, primarily in the Northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. They possess a distinct appearance, with both eyes located on the same side of their body, enabling them to camouflage effectively on the ocean floor. Flounders are bottom-dwellers, feeding on small fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. They exhibit sexual dimorphism, with females being larger than males. Flounders are known for their remarkable ability to change color and pattern, blending seamlessly with their surroundings. They are commercially important, valued for their delicate flavor and tender white flesh.
