Species Overview
Summer Flounder
The summer flounder, or fluke, is a flatfish that lies camouflaged on the ocean floor. Born with eyes on both sides, one eye migrates to the left side during development. An ambush predator, it explodes upward to grab passing prey.
Zander
The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
