Abstract: A short fish note on a 'reversed' specimen of flounder Platichthyes flesus captured by rod and line at Cahore, Co. Wexford. Members of the Pleuronectidae usually have their eyes on the right hand side except in 'reversed' specimens. Although reversal is considered common in flounders, this is the first authenticated record of this species in Irish waters.
