[No title] 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. www.nature.com /nature/journal/v198/n4878/ris/198411b0refs.ris   (1064 words)

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. www.fishingdartmouth.co.uk /catch_plaice.htm   (3945 words)

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. www.nefsc.noaa.gov /sos/spsyn/fldrs/plaice   (1459 words)

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. fish.shimano-eu.com /publish/content/fish/seh/nl/en/shimanoexperience/consultants_corner/dave_lewis/norway_plaice.html   (1574 words)
