Flatfish refers to fish in the order Pleuronectiformes, which includes many species.These different species of flatfish may have great differences in appearance, living environment and distribution areas.From the point of view of living environment, some flounder live in the sea, while others live in fresh water.
Specifically, most flatfish living in the ocean are distributed in tropical and temperate seawater, because they have certain requirements on the water temperature in the surrounding environment.They live in different depths of the sea, some flounder distribution in shallow waters, some flounder distribution in deeper waters.Of course, not all flatfish live in the ocean, some species of flatfish themselves live in fresh water, they live in rivers, lakes and other freshwater basins.However, there are not many flatfish living in fresh water, most of the flatfish species still live in the ocean and belong to marine fish.
Most species of flatfish are marine fish, living in the ocean.From the habit point of view, flounder is a kind of benthic fish, so it lives at the bottom of the ocean.However, the specific distribution depth of different species of flatfish is different.Most of them are found near the sea, which means they live at the bottom of the shallow ocean.In addition, there are a small number of flounder living in the bottom of deeper waters, sometimes even in the ocean depth of about 2000 meters, there are flounder distribution.
