Abstract: | A population of Solea vulgaris was transplanted in 1938 from the Mediterranean to a land locked brackish lake. In 1977, the morphology of these fishes was investigated and a number of measurements made and compared with those of fish caught in the Mediterranean. Among these variations was less vertebrae and fewer dorsal fin rays in the lake soles. |
