The Scophthalmidae are a family of flatfish found in the North Atlantic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, and Black Sea.[2] Fish of this family are known commonly as turbots,[1][3] though this name can refer specifically to Scophthalmus maximus, as well. Some common names found in species of this family are turbots, windowpanes, and brills.[4]
Cladistic analysis reveals that this family is a monophyletic group.[2]
Of all the scophthalmids, the largest species (Scophthalmus maximus) reaches approximately one meter in length.[4] Some species in the family have been historically fished commercially (predominantly the brill flatfish and the turbot flatfish, S.rhombus and S. maximus respectively).[2]
