Info Common sole (Solea solea), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. It lives on the sandy or muddy seabed of the northern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea where it often partially immerses itself in the substrate. The small eyes are close to each other on the right side of the body. This gives the fish the possibility of lurking half-buried in the sand for passing prey. The common sole, just like all other flatfishes, hatches as an "ordinary" fish with one eye on each side of the body. The young metamorphose to flatfish when they are about one centimeter long. It grows to a maximum length of about 70 centimetres (28 in). c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 20:34, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
