Solea solea - Sole - Tong

Solea solea  (Linnaeus, 1758)

Sole - Tong

Westhinder - Oosthinder bank, North Sea - Belgium*, 16-8-2023. In vitro photo specimen A. 

* Collected with the VLIZ research vessel RV Simon Stevin, beam trawl track 2, coordinates: start 51° 32.121’ N – 2° 38.534’ E - stop 51º 33.415’ N – 2° 38.663’ E. 

At first I was told this is Pegusa lascaris, but I doubt it. I am missing the typical colour pattern on the mid-pectoral fin of this species. And the dorsal and anal fins are lacking regularly scattered brownish rays (Louisy, 2015).

🇬🇧 Two websites about one love: marine biology.

On this website - Mick’s Marine Life - you will find photos of all the species of marine animals and seaweeds that I have photographed during many years. See the next introduction for more information. On Mick’s Marine Biology you will find extensive articles and short posts (‘Shortly put’) about marine fauna and flora.  

🇳🇱 Twee websites over één liefde: mariene biologie.

Op deze website - Mick’s Marine Life - vind je foto’s van alle soorten zeedieren en zeewieren die ik gedurende vele jaren heb gefotografeerd. Zie de volgende introductie voor meer informatie. Op Mick’s Marine Biology staan uitgebreide artikelen en korte berichten (‘Kortschrift’) over zeefauna en -flora.
