Abstract
THE flat-fishes of Northumberland in the immature condition migrate more, or less inshore in summer and offshore in winter. Flounders are relatively static, plaice migrate offshore to the north-east and dabs to the south-east. The migration is not, as a rule, conspicuous, and, so far as the young stages are concerned, might be regarded as not taking place.
