Physical 

Winter Flounder can grow to approximately 2 feet. The Winter Flounder’s appearance closely matches the Summer Flounder, however it is right-sided, meaning the eyes and mouth lay on the right side of the body. Color can vary from reddish-brown to olive-green or even black.

Habitat

This species of flounder can range from Labrador to Georgia. They can rarely be found south of the Chesapeake and are most abundant in the Gulf of Maine. They are bottom dwellers which prefer an environment of mud or sand.

Feeding 

Adult flounder feed on small plant matter and benthic invertebrates such as crustaceans, cnidarians, and mollusks. They bury themselves in the sand to hide from prey.
