About the pacific sanddab

The Pacific sanddab, also known as the soft flounder, mottle sanddab, or megrim, is a fish species in the order Pleuronectiformes, or flatfish. It is by far the most common sanddab, and it shares its habitat with the longfin sanddab and the speckled sanddab. The adult Pacific sanddab is bilaterally asymmetrical and 'left-eyed', meaning both eyes are located on the left side of its body.
