The biggest difference between flounder and turbot is the range of reference.

Flounder refers to all the fish in the order Platypus, which includes many families and has a wide range of species, while turbot refers only to the fish in the family Turbot of the order Platypus, which includes fewer species and has a smaller range. In addition, compared with other flounders, turbot are also characterized by the fact that they belong to the family of flounders, and both eyes are on the left side of the body; this is not the case with fish in the family of flounders, which have their eyes on the right side of the body.

In terms of specific categorization, flounder refers to fish in the order Platypus, while turbot refers to fish in the family Turbidae of the order Platypus. As you can see, flounder and turbot are very closely related. The range of flounder is relatively large, and contains many families, of which turbot is one.

The turbot is one of the species of flounder, which is included in the flounder, and its range is relatively small. Therefore, flounder and turbot are just not the same because they have different ranges. Although they are more closely related, the two should not be confused though.

Flounder Habitat

All adult flounder are bottom feeders, but their eggs contain droplets of oil that float near the surface. The eggs hatch after a few days, and the hatchlings are symmetrical, with two eyes on each side of the head and a mouth on the ventral midline, which further suggests that they evolved from the perch.

When the young fish grew to about 1 centimeter in length, a metamorphic change took place that had a dramatic effect on the symmetrical cranium, ultimately creating the asymmetrical flounder we see. The whole change starts with one eye moving to the other side of the fish's head, which is done by resorbing strips of cartilage on the skull.
