    I appreciate that information. However, flounders themselves are not bilaterally symmetrical. I have caught many dozens of them and it’s pretty easy to tell that they are not.

      Flounders are born symmetrical; eye migration happens as they transition to the juvenile stage of growth.

        Isn’t it referring to during development? Like as they’re forming, they are bilateral? I haven’t taken developmental biology in many years, so I’m maybe wrong.

          They are born (or hatch too lazy to look up) and their eyes move later once they get larger.
