ordre de poissons plats
AI overview
Pleuronectiformes is a group of ray-finned fish commonly known as flatfish, characterized by their flattened bodies and both eyes positioned on the same side of their head as they rest on the seafloor. This unusual adaptation, where one eye migrates during development, represents a unique loss of body symmetry found nowhere else in vertebrates and allows these fish to blend in with their surroundings while hunting prey on the ocean bottom.
