Zebrias zebrinus

provided by wikipedia EN

Zebrias zebrinus is a ray-finned flatfish and member of the family Soleidae.[1]

Description

The genus has been dubbed Zebrias due to the dark and pale stripes on its body resembling a zebra.[1] Based on observations the species can grow up to around 22 cm long but further information about this exact species is unknown.[1]

They are asymmetrical at adulthood due to the flatfish's ability to migrate one eye to the other side of its body upon maturity, but is initially bilaterally symmetrical when young.[2]

Studies have been committed that have successfully mapped its complete mitochondrial genome.[3]

Distribution

The species is found within subtropical marine environments such as shallow bays and estuaries roughly 6–20 m deep around Japan and South Korea.[1]
