	Fish - Summer Flounder
		Most summer flounder inhabit Chesapeake Bay in the summer and move offshore to depths of 120 to 600 feet of water during the fall and winter.
		Flounder are more common the deep channels of the lower Bay than in the upper Bay, extending as far north as the Gunpowder River.
		During metamorphosis, the right eye of the larval flounder gradually migrates to the left side of the head–the feature distinguishing summer flounder from winter flounder, whose eyes are on the right side–and the body takes on the flattened appearance that it retains as an adult fish.

	Flounder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flounder are flatfish that live ocean waters in Northern European waters and along the east coast of the United States and Canada.
		Flounder lie on their left sides on the ocean floor; in adulthood, both eyes are situated on the right, upward-facing side of its body, and are aligned along a roughly 70° angle.
		The flounder feeding ground is the soft mud of the sea bottom, near bridge spiles, docks, and other bottom incumbrances; they are sometimes found on bass grounds as well.

		The sand flounder is much more plentiful west of Cape Cod than it is anywhere in the Gulf of Maine, southward at least to Chesapeake Bay, where it is very generally distributed in depths down to 25 fathoms, especially in the southern part.
