The Flounder Dae 
anal fin, which commences below the ventral fin, is also broader at the 
centre of the body, and has thirty-eight rays. The pectoral fin has 
nine rays on the upper and nine on the under side. The ventral fin 
has six, and the caudal fifteen rays. In rivers flounders are seldom 
caught over 14 lbs. In Loch Speggie in Shetland I have caught 
them over 2 lbs., while in the sea they grow to a larger size. They 
are quite good for the table. Occasionally flounders are found with 
their eyes and belly on the left side instead of the right.
