Atlantic halibut

The Atlantic halibut is a large flatfish that lives on the seafloor, often buried in sand or gravel. These powerful swimmers can travel great distances and are among the biggest bony fish in the ocean. Their slow growth makes them vulnerable to overfishing.

• Can live at depths from 50 to 2,000 meters below the surface
• Their size changes based on population numbers, not just age
• Uses camouflage to blend into sandy or rocky seabeds
