(2003) used a cDNA microarray-based approach to analyze the expression level changes of recognized biomarkers in a relevant fish species, European flounder (
Platichthys flesus).

An osmotic function would also be consistent with Kirby et al.'s (2004) observation that VTG concentrations increase in male flounder (
Platichthys flesus) from fall through spring--a period when they migrate from the coastal shelf into estuaries.

Survey of estrogenic activity in United Kingdom estuarine and coastal waters and its effects on gonadal development of the flounder
Platichthys flesus.
Belugas will eat any fish they can, including starry flounder,
Platichthys stellatus.
Intersex has also been observed in 20% of male flounder (
Platichthys flesus) in the contaminated Mersey estuary in the United Kingdom (Allen et al.
I noted recently on a fish display sign at a modern supermarket in the Seattle area, "Alaska starry flounder fillets, $4.99 lb." Many old-timers remember when the starry flounder,
Platichthys stellatus, was considered a scrap fish, harvested mainly for mink feed in Alaska.
For example: bis(tri-n-butyltin)oxide produces gill lesions in flounder (
Platichthys flesus) (Grinwis et al.
