Four species of juvenile pleuronectids were given a choice of eight sediments in a carousel and final choices were recorded after 20 h. Juvenile flatfishes demonstrated strong selection for sediments less than 500 μm. Juvenile starry flounder (<em>Platichthys stellatus</em>) selected larger particles with increasing fish size. Starry flounder under 25 mm in length chose mud, 50–80 mm fish chose mud and mixed mud sediments and larger juveniles (>150 mm) confined themselves to find sand. Juvenile halibut (<em>Hippoglossus stenolepis</em>) at 50–80 mm preferred a combination of mud and fine sand and were spatially segregated. Yellowfin sole (<em>Pleuronectes asper</em>) at 50–80 mm showed a slight preference for mud and mixed mud sediments over sand, a selection that became stronger in larger (>150 mm) fish. Juvenile rock sole (<em>Pleuronectes bilineatus</em>) at 50–80 mm preferred substrata of sand and mixed sand nearly 90% of the time. All species seldom selected sediments which were too coarse to allow the flatfishes to bury themselves, such as granular or pebble substrata. The results of these laboratory studies can be used to predict the distribution of juvenile flatfishes in a nursery area.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100948,"journal":{"name":"Netherlands Journal of Sea Research","volume":"34 1","pages":"Pages 177-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0077-7579(95)90025-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72110918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No significant changes were found in the abundances of juveniles and adults in the Bay of Coquimbo either throughout the year or interannually. However, when the analysis included the proportion of specimens between the two species and sex by season, the differences were apparent in most cases.
