Window Pane 



By many it is said to be not inferior to the European sole. 

 The colour is grayish-brown, the fins dark spotted, the tips of 

 the pectorals dusky. 



In the genus Lophopsetla (Turbot tribe) we have a single 

 species, L. maculata, known popularly as the window pane. It is 



an interesting species, occurring on our Atlantic Coast from Maine 

 to the Carolinas. It attains a weight of I to 2 pounds or less 

 and is generally common on sandy bottom. It is a near relative 

 of the valuable European turbot (Psetta maxima).
