WHAT DOES GREENLAND HALIBUT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Greenland halibut

Greenland halibut

The Greenland halibut or Greenland turbot belongs to the Pleuronectidae family, and is the only species of the genus Reinhardtius. It is a deepwater fish distributed mostly from 200 to 1600 m, but has been caught in shallower depths and at more than 2,200 m. It is mainly found in waters with temperatures from 1-4 °C, but has also observed at sub-zero temperatures down to -2.1 °C. It has a circumpolar distribution in the Northern Hemisphere and is found in both the North Atlantic and the North Pacific oceans. Its morphology with the left eye positioned on the dorsal ridge of the forehead gives it an appearance of a cyclops when looking straight at it. The central position of the left eye in the Greenland halibut probably gives it a much wider range of peripheral vision in comparison to other flatfish where the eye has migrated completely. The body shape is elongated and compressed dorsal-ventrally and muscles on both sides are equally developed. Both sides are pigmented; however the left blind side is slightly lighter in color than the right side. Its physical appearance suggests it to be a vigorous swimmer that can swim in a vertical position.
