Atlantic Halibut

Halibut

Hippoglossus hippoglossus
( literally: "horse tongue" )

Size:
to 8 ft and 700 lbs.
usually much smaller

Description:
The Atlantic Halibut is the largest member of the flatfish family and has a grayish eyed side and white blind side. Juveniles are found along the coast of Norway and in relatively shallow waters, while full-grown halibut usually stay in deep waters, between 300 and 2000 meters. So don't expect to see one of these enormous flounders while diving.
