What is the summer plane?
Summer Flounder is a lower dwelling with flat fish with camouflage capabilities that have both eyes on the left side of the head. It rests on its right side on the sea floor and is found mainly in the western Atlantic Ocean. He is a carnivore and feed by hiding and waiting for prey to swim close. The reproduction period is often from the end of summer to the middle of winter and the larvae have their eyes on both sides of their heads, which will migrate to the left side as they ripen.
Summer Flounder has a unique look. Looking from the side, it has a rounded profile with a long dorsal fin, which stretches from head to tail; Looking from another direction, it looks flattened by only two eyes protruding from the left side. Lies on his pale right side with the left upwards; The visible side has a spotted, spotted look in different shades brown with several larger spots that are reminiscent of it. It is able to change from the light to the dark coloring of the naval floor. Average Summer SizeIt is 15 to 22 inches (40 to 56 cm) long and usually weighs 3 to 6 pounds (1.4 to 2.7 kg).
The scientific name for the summer plane is paralichthys dentatus and is also known as a coincidence. It is mainly in the western Atlantic Ocean in the mouths and waters near the coast from Nový Scotland to Florida. It migrates into the waters further at sea in winter, at depths of 100 to 600 feet (30.5 to 183 m).
While resting on the side of the sea floor, the summer plans are partially buried in the sand and uses its flattened shape. This habit, combined with the ability to compare color with the surroundings, serves as an effective camouflage. In this way, it is hidden, waiting for the prey to float nearby and strike quickly as it does, captures and eats a small creature with their sharp teeth. Its diet consists mainly of small fish, octopus and crustaceans like shrimp.
The behavior or friction of the summer wilderness occurs from the end of summer to the middle of winter. WhenE larvae emerge from eggs, resemble most fish with eyes on both sides of the head. During the first year of life in shallow coastal waters, they underwent a gradual change or metamorphosis, while the flattening of the body and the right eye moved to the left side of the head. They will also start lying on their sides as lower residents and joining winter migration. The young Summer Flounder will be ready to emerge as soon as they are about two years old.
