Unusual "rightward" flounder is landing mutation? Hokkaido Toyoura Town August 18 4:52
I suspect that a rare "right-facing" flounder was landed offshore in Toyoura-cho, Hokkaido, and that the fisheries experimental station was born by mutation.
The "right-facing" flounder was landed on the set net fishing offshore in Toyoura Town on the 17th.
There is a way to tell that when you put your belly down, the flounder comes to the left and the flounder comes to the right when you call your belly down, as it is called "left flounder to right flounder". As a result of checking the photos and videos, it was found that it was "right facing" flounder due to the characteristics of the teeth and body.
According to the Fisheries Experiment Station, the number of flounders that have been cultivated in juvenile fish and released to the sea "turn right" is about 1,000 to 10,000 out of every 10,000 flounders. I think it was born.
"This time there is a high possibility of natural flounder, which is more unusual," said Mr. Tatsunari Morishita of the National Fisheries Research Institute, Hokkaido Research Organization.
The "right-facing" flounder has already been hung on auction and shipped.
