Pseudorhombus jenynsii

(Bleeker, 1855)


Mark Springs Soal or Flounder fish Taken at camp cove

Tom Hobock Just a guess Soal

Steve Walsh I asked Professor Google and he reckons it's a flounder. My guess is a smalltooth flounder, Pseudorhombus jenynsii. Here's a video shot on Straddy, hosted by the Australian Museum site: http://tinyurl.com/mkmxf4l

Steve Walsh Hey Flounder! Nice camouflage on the seagrass, mate! (not)

Mark Springs Thanks Steve

Steve Walsh :)
