1. flatfish

   Flatfish are a group of mostly saltwater, carnivorous fish species, characterized by their flat, asymmetrical bodies, both eyes located on one side of the head, and a habit of lying or swimming very close to the seabed. They include species such as flounders, soles, plaice, and turbot. They undergo a fascinating transformation during their early development, where one eye migrates to the other side, causing them to become asymmetrical. This adaptation allows them to spend their adult life lying on one side on the ocean floor.

1. Flatfish

   A flatfish is a member of the order of ray-finned demersal fishes, also called the Heterosomata, sometimes classified as a suborder of Perciformes. In many species, both eyes lie on one side of the head, one or the other migrating through and around the head during development. Some species face their left side upward, some face their right side upward, and others face either side upward. Many important food fish are in this order, including the flounders, soles, turbot, plaice, and halibut. There are more than 400 species of this order. Some flatfish can camouflage themselves on the ocean floor.
