Flatfishes : biology and exploitation / edited by Robin N. Gibson, Richard D.M. Nash, Audrey J. Geffen, Henk W. van der Veer.

Fascinating and instantly recognizable, flatfishes are unique in their asymmetric postlarval body form. With over 800 extant species recognized and a distribution stretching around the globe, these fishes are of considerable research interest and provide a major contribution to commercial and recrea...

520 |a Fascinating and instantly recognizable, flatfishes are unique in their asymmetric postlarval body form. With over 800 extant species recognized and a distribution stretching around the globe, these fishes are of considerable research interest and provide a major contribution to commercial and recreational fisheries worldwide. This second edition of Flatfishes: Biology and Exploitation has been completely revised, updated and enlarged to respond to the ever-growing body of research. It provides: Overviews of systematics, distribution, life history strategies, reproduction, recruitment, ecology.
