Hirame (Flounder) - Lefteye flounder
A general term for marine fish belonging to the families Pleuronectidae and Pleuronectidae in the order Pleuronectiformes, or one of these. Flounders are often compared to plaice and look similar, but there are fewer varieties of them. However, they are widely distributed from the tropics to temperate zones, and about 200 species are known. This family is divided into the families Pleuronectidae and Pleuronectidae based on whether the positions of the left and right pelvic fins are symmetrical or not, and whether the positions of the eyes are symmetrical or not along the midline of the body. In Japan, there are 10 species of Pleuronectidae and about 30 species of Pleuronectidae, but the most important of these is the Japanese flounder.
