  Underwater World - American Plaice
American plaice are spring spawners, with spawning occurring at least as early as the first part of April on the Flemish Cap, and on the southern half of the Grand Banks, to late May or early June off Labrador.
It can be seen that plaice on the northeast part of the Grand Banks at 10 years of age are, on the average, around 32 cm, whereas, on the southwest part of the Grand Banks they are approximately 45 cm in length.
Plaice up to at least 25 years of age have been caught, but in heavily exploited stocks 20 years of age is usually the maximum recorded.

 American Plaice Fishery
Female plaice grow faster and get considerably larger than male plaice, and thus the commercial catches are dominated by females.
Commercial concentrations of American Plaice can be found down the coast of Cape Breton to Cape George in the eastern part of the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Plaice are now caught by a diverse fishery of fixed and mobile gear, with the dominant sector being seines (75% of landings in 1997) operated by vessels less than 45 feet.

This individual, which was recognized morphologically as a hybrid, may have resulted from a mating between two hybrids or between a hybrid and one of the parent species.
The molecular weight of plaice haemoglobin is approximately 70,000 (ref. 9) so in all probability the flatfish haemoglobins are tetramers just as they seem to be in all other gnathos-tomous vertebrates10.
The presence of a number of novel haemoglobin components in the hybrid individuals as compared to the parent species may be taken to indicate that the tetrameric haemoglobin molecules of plaice and floun der are composed of at least two different sub-units.

 So You Want To Catch A Plaice?
The majority of the plaice fishing is done from a boat, while freely drifting on the tide along the edges of the banks, where the shingle falls off into deeper water.
Plaice are voracious predators and lie just behind the edges of the banks, waiting for the tide race to bring them copious small sand-eel as a ready food source.
It is the period of waiting for the Plaice to take the bait well inside its mouth that can result in a lot of deeply hooked fish when using traditional hooks.

 American Plaice - Status of Fishery Resources off the Northeastern US
The American plaice or dab, Hippoglossoides platessoides, is a large mouthed, "right handed" flounder, distributed along the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf from southern Labrador to Rhode Island in relatively deep waters (Collette and Klein-MacPhee 2002).
Off the U.S. coast, American plaice are managed as a single stock in the Gulf of Maine-Georges Bank region (Figure 9.1).
Under this FMP, American plaice are included in a complex of 15 groundfish species managed by time/area closures, gear restrictions, minimum size limits, and, since 1994, by direct effort controls including a moratorium on permits and days-at-sea restrictions.

 Norway Plaice
We knew they were there as I’d seen pictures of thumping great plaice and dabs, and many of the anglers and charter skippers I’d spoken to on previous trips had talked about superb flattie fishing, all we had to do was find them; and then catch them.
We very quickly lost count of the number of haddock and occasional codling we boated, while our haul of dabs and plaice steadily grew with all of the dabs weighing well over the pound while the average size of the plaice better than double that.
It was a plaice, a seriously big plaice, and when several minutes later we finally managed to lift it aboard the boat where it hit the deck with a satisfying thump, the two of us just sat there for several minutes staring at it, grinning and shaking our heads in disbelief.
