Description This small-sized flatfish is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific. It is generally found in nearshore,
soft-bottom habitats where it is a component of demersal trawl bycatch. The contribution of this species
to the bycatch is unknown. It is relatively widely distributed and common in museum collections;
therefore, this species is Least Concern. However, research is needed to determine the contribution of
various small-sized flatfishes to trawl bycatch.
