Limanda
''Limanda'' is a genus of righteye flounders native to the northern Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, Pacific oceans. A 2018 cladistic morphological and genetic analysis found that the genus is not monophyletic, and has proposed ''L. ferruginea'', ''L. proboscidea'' and ''L. punctatissima'' be placed in the genus ''Myzopsetta''. Species There are currently six recognized species in this genus: * ''Limanda aspera'' (Peter Simon Pallas, Pallas, 1814) (Yellowfin sole) * ''Limanda ferruginea'' (David Humphreys Storer, D. H. Storer (:fr:David Humphreys Storer, fr), 1839) (Yellowtail flounder) * ''Limanda limanda'' (Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus, 10th edition of Systema Naturae, 1758) (Common dab) * ''Limanda proboscidea'' Charles Henry Gilbert, C. H. Gilbert, 1896 (Longhead dab) * ''Limanda punctatissima'' (Franz Steindachner, Steindachner, 1879) (Speckled flounder) * ''Limanda sakhalinensis'' Carl Leavitt Hubbs, C. L. Hubbs, 1915 (Sakhalin sole) References Limanda, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Limanda Ferruginea
The yellowtail flounder (''Limanda ferruginea''), also known as the rusty dab, is a species of flatfish in the family Pleuronectidae (righteye flounders). Reaching in length, it has reddish brown upperparts, pale underparts and yellow fins. Both its eyes are on the right (upper) side of its body. Found in the western Atlantic Ocean, North Atlantic, it has been fished commercially by North American fisheries for food. A victim of overfishing, the yellowtail flounder is categorized as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Taxonomy The yellowtail flounder was originally described by German naturalist Carl Moritz Gottsche as ''Limanda vulgaris'' in the ''Archiv für Naturgeschichte'' in 1835. It was later documented as ''Platessa ferruginea'' by David Humphreys Storer in 1839, who noted the similarity between it and ''Limanda limanda'' (then considered to be in the genus ''Pleuronectes''). He gave the species the common name of "rusty dab". Later, bot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
