摘要：

Specimens of the following species of flatfish (Pleuronectiformes) were observed in an aquarium with a transparent bottom: Scophthalmus maxirous (L.) (Bothidae); Limanda limanda (L.), Pleuronectes platessa L. and Platichthys flesus (L.) (Pleuronectidae); Solea solea (L.) and Buglossidium luteum (Risso) (Soleidae). When these fish are resting on the bottom, both opercula move in the manner usual in toleost respiration. It is suggested that flatfish resting on the bottom pumpwaler over the gills of both sides, but expel it all from the upper opercular opening. This is possible because the opercular cavities communicate ventrally.
