[edit] Recipes

Anyone have a good recipe for Halibut? How do we link this page to Wikibooks, Wikihow, or Wikirecipes? --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 21:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "adult halibut typically have both eyes on the right side of the head"

What about young ones? Do they undergo a transformation at some point?

Yes, halibut have a protracted developmental phase that lasts many weeks. The eggs develop in the water column and slowly develop into what you would recognise as a fish larvae. During this period they develop from a large egg into what looks like other fish larva before they metamorphose into a flatfish larvae. The larvae have very large eyes and a comparatively large yolk sac. As the yolk sac is absorbed there is an increasing need for the larvae to start first feeding on zooplankton. This is an extrememly critical period for the fish and must initiated feeding to secure proper development. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.0.185 (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gender change

Can we get a citation for this? http://www.pcouncil.org/halibut/halback.html implies that the gender does not change at any time. --Sean

[edit] Vandalism

I'm impressed how much vandalism this page seems to accumulate. Do people come from the fish market and say, "Gee, I really ought to derail this wikipedia project as much as possible, but where to start?" Someone might want to look into a means of tapering all the misinformation that seems drawn to this page. Doctor yellow 09:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images

This article needs more images, at least one of the skeleton of the Halibut and also some images of the various developmental stages of the Halibut. Shinobu (talk) 08:32, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
