Achirus Achirus
The drab sole (''Achirus achirus'') is a brackish water-dwelling sole of the genus ''Achirus'' native to the waters of South America, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. The drab sole is also commonly used by humans as an aquarium fish. Biology The drab sole, like most flatfish, has both eyes on the same side of its head as an adult. It is brown with green fins and the body (including the fins) is covered in black spots. It can grow to a size of 37 cm (although they average only about 30 cm) and have been recorded as weighing up to 1 kg. The fish is an obligate carnivore and its diet consists of various smaller finfish and crustaceans living in the sediment. Environment The drab sole is a type of flatfish that lives on the bottoms of brackish and freshwater rivers and estuaries around the Gulf of Mexico and along the coast of South America. It dwells generally in only shallow water, living in areas of about 1–20 meters in depth. It is also an amphid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Achirus Lineatus
The lined sole (''Achirus lineatus'') is a ray-finned flatfish found in the Western Atlantic. Its common length is 17 cm. Often considered a trash fish in commercial trawling, it is of little or no economic value. Diet and habitat This species feeds on worms, crustaceans and small fishes, and occurs mainly in brackish or hypersaline lagoons, or on sandy-muddy bottoms of estuaries, as well as the littoral zone. It hides itself in the substrate, leaving its eyes uncovered to view prey and predators. It can easily disguise itself in the environment and can be associated with reefs and be found at depths to 20 m. Reproduction and lifecycle Reproduction appears to occur year-round, at least in some portions of the animal's range. Juveniles have a brief planktonic life, moving quickly to the benthic stage. Its growth rate is relatively slow. Distribution Commonly, it is caught in the Western Atlantic bight: Florida and northern Gulf of Mexico to northern Argentina. ''A. lineatu ...

American Sole
The American soles are a family (Achiridae) of flatfish occurring in both freshwater and marine environments of the Americas. The family includes about 35 species in seven genera. These are closely related to the soles (Soleidae), and have been classified as a subfamily of it, but achirids have a number of distinct characteristics. Eyes are on the right side, and the eyed-side lower lip has a distinctive fleshy rim. The dorsal and anal fins are usually separate from the caudal fin. The pectoral fins are small or nonexistent. They are fairly small; only ''Achirus achirus'' is known to surpass in length.
