Platichthys flesus
The European Flounder is another common species that is being investigated. This type of animal normally presides in a saltwater or freshwater environment, in either warm or cool water temperatures. This species has been hunted and used as food for people to consume throughout time. This species is an interesting specimen to investigate based on its bodily structure.
Platichthys flesus, otherwise known as, the European Flounder, is of the animalia kingdom and does indeed have a nervous system that aids in survival. Their nervous system is made up of calcium-sensing receptors and parathyroid hormone-related protein located in the caudal neurosecretory system of the flounder. These hormone-related proteins help the flounder make decisions such as what location is warm or cool enough to survive in, what type of food would be acceptable to eat, and what type of predators they need to be out on the lookout for.
