Spiny turbot
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Automated taxobox".
The spiny turbots are a family, Psettodidae,[1] of relatively large, primitive flatfish found in the tropical waters of the east Atlantic and Indo-Pacific.[2] The family contains three species, all in the same genus, Psettodes. The common name comes from the presence of spines in the dorsal and anal fins, which may indicate an evolutionary relationship with the Perciformes. Spiny turbots are less asymmetrical than other flatfish, although the region around the eyes is twisted.[3] They reach lengths of 55–80 cm (22–31 in).[4]
Species
The currently recognized species in this genus are:[4]
- Psettodes belcheri E. T. Bennett, 1831 (spottail spiny turbot)
- Psettodes bennetti Steindachner, 1870 (spiny turbot)
- Psettodes erumei (Bloch & J. G. Schneider, 1801) (Indian halibut)
