Biology:Scophthalmus

From HandWiki

Scophthalmus is a genus of turbots, relatively large flatfish native to the northeast Atlantic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. The name comes from the Greek words σκόπελος (skópelos) and ὀφθαλμός (ophthalmós) "eye", where σκόπελος would mean according to Liddell & Scott "lookout place, promontory", and according to P. Romero "lanternfish".[1][2]

Species

There are currently four recognized species in this genus:[3]

The fossil species †Scophthalmus stamatini (Paucă, 1931), the earliest known fossil scophthalmid, is known from the Early Oligocene of Poland and Romania.[4][5]
