Paralichthys


Paralichthys is a genus of large-tooth flounders. Most species are native to the coastal waters of the Americas, but P. olivaceus is from northeast Asia. The largest species reaches about 1.5 m (5 ft) in length.[1]

The American four-spot flounder Hippoglossina oblonga is sometimes placed in Paralichthys by some authorities but FishBase does not and that source is followed here.[1]
