Abstract:

Flounder is a popular food fish; however, a number of areas have been overfished, and some North Carolina waters have been closed. A flounder aquaculture has been profitable in Asia for a number of years. Korea is producing around twenty-one million tons a year. Researchers with the North Carolina Sea Grant program anticipate there will be commercial flounder production in the state in the next three to five years.
