Patterns of distribution, temporal fluctuations and some population parameters of four species of flatfish (Pleuronectidae) off the western coast of Baja California

We examined the spatial and temporal abundance as well as some biological features of the four Pleuronectidae species living in the shallow and deep marine waters off the western coast of Baja California: spotted turbot Pleuronichthys ritteri (Starks & Morris, 1907); hornyhead turbot Pleuron...
