Diet composition and feeding habits of fish larvae of two co-occurring species (Pisces: Callionymidae and
Bothidae) in the North-western Mediterranean.
Bothidae Bothus leopardinus 9 121 Monolene asaedai 15 F.
lethostigma (Pisces:
Bothidae) in North Carolina estuaries.
The 2 flatfish families Pleuronectidae and
Bothidae contained the greatest species richness across each sampling area, with a total of 6 species sampled over the 2 nearshore areas and 9 species sampled over the offshore area.
Bothidae, the group in which de Groot (1971) placed the turbot Scophthalmus maximus (Linnaeus), has gill rakers with small teeth on each raker.
33) discovered that differences between sexes, especially in some species of the family
Bothidae, may be found in scales, rostral and orbital spines, interorbital widths, form of the fins, coloration, and (in one species) teeth.

Some left-eyed flatfishes are in the family
Bothidae or the family Paralichthyidae, which includes many commercially important species of flounder, such as the southern flounder.
Species with semi- permanent and permanent home ranges such as those from the family
Bothidae and Cyanoglossidae were also sampled.
During this type of swimming, the octopus eyes were also in the same approximate position as the eyes of the flounder, which are both on the left side in the family
Bothidae (order Pleuronectiformes).
