Flatfish are born as symmetrical larvae, resembling typical fish with a standard body shape. As they develop, one side of their body flattens and migrates to the other side, causing their eyes to shift to the top of their head. This transformation allows them to adapt to a benthic lifestyle, where they lie on the ocean floor. Eventually, they grow into their adult form, characterized by their unique flattened bodies.
