Short description
Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri
Taggstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 0; Mjukstrålar i ryggfenan (totalt) : 87 - 101; Taggstrålar i analfenan: 0; Mjukstrålar i analfenan: 67 - 79; Ryggkotor: 41 - 44. Dorsal origin over middle part of eye. Caudal longest in middle, ending in a broad 'V'. Pectoral fins large, bluntly pointed.
Adults are found on sand bottom (Ref. 2850), usually in deep water (Ref. 9988). Feed on invertebrates and bottom fishes (Ref. 6885). Livers of large individuals are a rich source of vitamin A (Ref. 6885). Marketed fresh or as frozen fillets (Ref. 2850). Eaten steamed, fried, micro-waved and baked (Ref. 9988). Generally regarded as the premium Pacific coast sole (Ref. 9988).
