Flatfish, an oddly shaped fish with a flat body and both eyes all at the top of this may have come to your kitchen, and served as a lunch menu. In Aceh, flatfish is often referred to as a 'fish next door'. The types and sizes vary, from angelfin whiffs the size of a finger, to a halibut type, which can reach up to three meters in length.

The position of these fishes often raises the question of tingling: if both eyes are above the body, how does this fish look at the sea floor?

All flatfish have eyes protruding from their heads. This fish can not see directly under the body, but they can see the bottom around it.

conclusion

Theoretically the experts estimate there are about twenty thousand to forty thousand species that inhabit the surface of this earth, and four thousand of them inhabit Indonesian waters both sea, brackish and freshwater. The number of fish species recorded in the Riau region is estimated to reach three hundred species of fish. Of these, one species to another certainly has some similarities and identification, which can basically be used as a basis for classification (Manda et al, 2005).

According to the Anthropology Team (1989), that the fish's body shape varies, yet it has the same basic pattern of "bucateral symmetrical" head-tail "bodies. Exceptions to the order of Plauronectiformes have a symmetrical non-bilateral form. Where the outline of existing fish in nature are grouped into two namely Agnatha (fish that are not berahang) and Gnathostomata (fish that have jaws). In general, fish are divided into three classes: Cephalaspidomorphi, Condrichthyes and Osteichthyes.

Cephalaspidomorphi, Condrichthyes and Osteichthyes incorporated into Pisces, are an enormous group of animals and of great interest to the people, so that this group of animals is being noticed as a specialized field of qanology. (Romimohtarto, 2005).

Saanin (1984), the fish of the order Heterostomata have the characteristics of the head is not symmetrical, the two eyes are located on one side of the body while the tiger grouper, the bilateral body is symmetrical, the pectoral fin shorter than the head. The scales line has 110-114 scales, on it 15 scales and black spots on the body.

If we look more closely it turns out the fish body shape can be used to guess the way of life of the fish. A typical body shape that belongs to fast swimmer fish such as Scombridae family and can be inferred habitat unit determines body shape, way of life and movement.
