Abstract:
The flatfishes belonging to the order Pleuronectiformes include commercially important species, some of which are not relished locally, whereas others are exported. Most of these fish are found on the soft bottom (muddy or sandy areas) in shallow coastal waters, continental shelves, and the estuarine regions along the coast of Pakistan. Being demersal, these species are commercially harvested with trawling and bottom-set gillnets. Annual landings of flatfish in Pakistan were observed to fluctuate; however, in 2024, it was reported to be 5,440 m. tons. Indian spiny turbot (Psettodes erumei), oriental sole (Brachirus orientalis), largetooth flounder (Pseudorhombus arsius), deep flounder (Pseudorhombus elevatus), and Javan flounder (Pseudorhombus javanicus) are locally consumed, whereas tonguesoles (Cynoglossus spp.) are locally consumed as well as exported mainly to European countries. The present paper reports a total of 67 species that belong to 26 genera and 6 families of the order Pleuronectiformes (including Psettodidae, Paralichthyidae, Bothidae, Samaridae, Soleidae, and Cynoglossidae) from Pakistan. Arabian flounder (Arnoglossus arabicus), transparent flounder (Bothus pellucida), convict sole (Zebrias captivus), Gunther's flounder (Laeops guentheri are reported for the first time from Pakistan.
