REMARKS Maximum length about 60 cm (or, exceptionally, up to 80 cm) in North American waters, but only just over 30 cm in European waters. In fact, the authorities recognize two sub-species, one on each side of the Atlantic. (The drawing is of the American variety, Hippoglossoides plates-soides platessoides.)
