Range and Identity
Scophthalmus aquosus is retained as the species identity. The checked range extends from the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada toward northern Florida. A broad coastal outline does not establish equal abundance in every bay or at every depth between those endpoints.
Habitat and Behavior
The account records the fish from shore to about forty-five meters, with occasional deeper occurrence. That qualification matters. A deeper observation is not automatically inconsistent with the species, provided its identification and capture information are sound.
Food and Life History
The upper reference is 45.7 centimeters total length. An independent maximum mass, detailed feeding list and complete reproductive sequence were not established in the short summary checked. Other flatfishes should not supply those missing facts simply because they share a coastal bottom habitat.
Field Note
Keep depth and scientific identity with a catch. A common flatfish description can cover several species, and the particular name Windowpane should remain connected to evidence of this exact determination.
