|
| Even though the Greenland halibut is a flatfish it does at times behave more like a roundfish. |
|
| His work has been on small flatfish and gadoids and he has spent much time devoted to developing rearing protocols for live feeds and larval haddock and cod. |
|
| The mesh size of the net is appropriate to target species, smaller mesh is used to catch shrimp and larger mesh is used to catch gadoids, flatfish, rockfish or other bottom-dwelling species. |

| Concurrently with the advent of steam trawlers that fished for round fish and flatfish on the North Sea from Zoutkamp, shrimping became more and more important for Zoutkamp. |
|
| Groundfish, such as cod, haddock, redfish and several species of flatfish, are most affected by pressure from overfishing, and ground fish stocks off the east coast, especially cod, have nearly collapsed. |
|
|

|
| The Netherlands has some of the world's most efficient trawlers for flatfish, in terms of tonnes caught per vessel in a day but they drink fuel at a fearsome rate. |
|
| Several other flatfish are also called turbot. |
|
| I do not accept that the possible recovery of cod stocks is in any way an adequate justification for the sacrifice of the prawn, haddock, whiting, plaice, and flatfish fisheries. |
|
| This plan should be the main instrument for flatfish management in the North Sea, and should contribute to the recovery of other stocks such as cod. |
|
| Neither flatfish stocks, nor cod stocks would justify this. |
|
| I believe similar benefits can be extended to the flatfish sector. |
|
| The closure to protect cod should, therefore, be established in such a way that fisheries for Norway lobster, shrimps and flatfish, should not be significantly diminished while minimising risk to cod. |
|
| The hon. member talks about the ecosystem, the squid that used to go into the gulf, the squid that were the food of the cod, the flatfish and every other type of groundfish. |
|
| This is why the flatfish fishing quota can be cut disproportionately in relation to those for cod, as has been illustrated in Denmark, Germany and certainly in my own country, the Netherlands. |
|
| Cod and other gadids, flatfish, herring, wrasse and skates are also important locally. |
|
| In a typical modern flatfish, the head is asymmetric, with both eyes on one side of the head. |
|
| The first host used by cod worm is a flatfish or lumpsucker, which they capture with grasping hooks at the front of their body. |
|
| This in turn comes from the late Latin platessa, meaning flatfish, which originated from the Ancient Greek platys, meaning broad. |
