Brown sole (English name: brown sole)
A marine fish of the family Pleuronectidae (illustration). A northern species found from Hokkaido to northern Honshu. The eyed side is light brown with no markings, while the eyeless side is white with a slightly broad, light yellow edge on the dorsal and anal fins. It is morphologically very similar to the marbled flounder, but can be distinguished by the lack of scales between the eyes. It is also larger than the marbled flounder. The spawning season is from March to June, when it lays separate pelagic eggs measuring 0.8 to 0.9 mm in diameter. A clutch can contain 3,000 to 100,000 eggs. They hatch in about six days at a water temperature of 6 to 10°C.
