Areliscus [Areliscus]

Description

Areliscus is a genus of tongue soles characterized by their unique body shapes and adaptations to benthic life. Members of this genus have elongated, flattened bodies that allow them to blend into sandy or muddy ocean floors where they reside. They are adept at camouflage and possess both eyes on one side of their head, a common feature among flatfishes, facilitating their bottom-dwelling lifestyle.
