Ambicolored specimens of the flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus (Pleuronectiformes: Paralichthyidae)

Abstract

Two ambicolored specimens of Paralichthys orbignyanus were reported for the estuarine area of the arroyo Pando (Uruguay). One of the specimens showed an almost fully coloration on the blind side, excepting the cephalic region, while the other one was partially pigmented. This is the first record of ambicoloration in P. orbignyanus. Copyright © 2006 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia.
