...Emma J. Kelman; Palap Tiptus; Daniel Osorio SUMMARY Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) is a flatfish well-known for the ability to vary its body pattern, probably for camouflage. This study investigates the repertoire of patterns used by juvenile plaice, by describing how they respond to shifts between...

...Paul W. Webb SUMMARY The kinematics of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa, L =22.1 cm) and cod (Gadus morhua, L =25.0 cm, where L is total fish length)swimming at various speeds at the bottom and lifted to heights, h , of 10, 50 and 100 mm by a thin-wire grid were measured. For cod, tailbeat frequency...

... , P. W. (1990). The action of temperature on the electrical activity of cardiac muscle of the marine teleosts saithe (Pollachius virens) and plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) measured in vitro. J. Physiol., Lond. 422 , 16P . Harper , A. A. , Watt , P. W. , Hancock , N...

...Hans Erik Karlsen ABSTRACT The sensitivity of plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) to infrasound has been examined using a seawater-filled test chamber suspended by steel wires like a swing and driven by a vibrator. The sensitivity to low-frequency vibrations was determined using the cardiac conditioning...

... Clupea harengus L. and plaice Pleuronectes platessa L., as they made rapid responses to tactile stimulation by a probe. These two species were studied because of their different body shapes: the herring has an eel-like larva about 9 mm long at hatching; plaice larvae at hatching are about 6 mm long...
