“…Color abnormalities have been reported for a variety of flatfish species (e.g. Cunningham, 1907;Hussakof, 1914;Norman, 1934;Gudger, 1936;Gudger and Firth, 1936;De Veen, 1969;Houde, 1971;Fujita, 1980;Gartner, 1986;Chaves et al, 2002;Quigley, 2003;Carnikian et al, 2006;Diaz de Astarloa et al, 2006;Macieira et al, 2006;Da Silva Junior et al, 2007;Akyol and Şen 2012).…”

Abstract:Both color and morphological abnormalities on two different flatfish species [Dicologlossa cuneata (Moreau, 1881) and Scophthalmus maeoticus (Pallas, 1814)] have been recorded from Turkish seas. Abnormal flatfish species, Dicologlossa cuneata (Moreau, 1881), wedge sole, was sampled from two different localities in Aegean sea. First wedge sole from Izmir bay (Aegean sea) had three different colour abnormalities (ambicoloration; albinism and xanthochroism) on eyed and blind sides of their body. Other abnormal wedge sole specimen from Ekincik cove (Aegean sea) had ambicoloration on blind side of the body. Second abnormal flatfish species Scophthalmus maeoticus (Pallas, 1814), Black sea turbot, was caught from the Black sea coast of Istanbul and the specimen had totally ambicolored (blind side of the body was colored as like as eyed side) and morphological abnormalities (a fleshy piece-hook-above the head).

“…These flatfishes are called 'hooked' and sometimes it can also cause abnormal pigmentation (Norman, 1934). There were a few records for head anomalies in flatfishes (Gudger and Firth, 1936;Fujita, 1980;Gartner, 1986;Diaz de Astarloa et al, 2006;Macieira et al, 2006).…”

“…Pigment anomalies of some other flatfish species are well documented and have been described to affect wild populations (De Veen 1969, Gartner 1986, Macieira et al 2006 as well as farmed fish (Ottesen & Strand 1996, Venizelos & Benetti 1999, Bolker & Hill 2000, Copeman & Parrish 2002, Bolker et al 2005, Yamanome et al 2005, Noguera et al 2013. However, hyperpigmentation observed in dab may be a distinct phenomenon and differs from other types recorded because of its high prevalence and cellular and tissue characteristics (Noguera et al 2013).…”

Hyperpigmentation is a term describing a specific pigment anomaly affecting common dab Limanda limanda in the North Sea and, less frequently, in adjacent areas, e.g. the English Channel, Irish and Celtic Seas, western Baltic Sea and Icelandic waters. Other North Sea flatfish species are also affected, but at a markedly lower prevalence. The condition is characterised by the occurrence of varying degrees of green to black patchy pigment spots in the skin of the upper (ocular) body side and pearly-white pigment spots in the skin of the lower (abocular) body side. In the course of fish disease monitoring programmes carried out by Germany and the UK (England and Scotland), a pronounced spatial pattern of hyperpigmentation has been detected in the North Sea. An increase in prevalence has been recorded in almost all North Sea areas studied in the past 2 decades. The prevalence recorded in hot spot areas of the condition increased from 5 to > 40% between 1988 and 2009. Analysis of the German data indicates that the prevalence and intensity (degree of discolouration) of hyperpigmentation increase with size and age, indicating a temporal progression of the condition with size and age. Intense hyperpigmentation is associated with increased growth (length) and decreased condition factor. Potential causes of the condition (UV-B radiation nutrition, water temperature increase, demographic changes) and, in particular, of the spatial/temporal patterns recorded as well as the relationship to host-specific factors (sex, age, length, growth, condition factor) are discussed.

“…Different types of abnormalities including those of the color were documented on several species of fishes since the works of Dawson (1964;1966;1971) (Macieira et al, 2006;Simon et al, 2009). Malpigmentation in fishes generally occurs as either a deficiency (albinism or hypomelanosis) or an excess (melanism or hypermelanosis) of pigmentation (Simon et al, 2009;.…”

Three specimens of the family Epinephelidae and two specimens of the family Haemulidae with abnormal coloration, were obtained from Jubail City, Saudi Arabia, Arabian Gulf coast. The epaulet grouper Epinephelus stoliczkae specimens were obtained from the fish market at Jubail City originated from Sultanate of Oman, while the two haemulid species, Plectorhinchus stoliczkae and P. sordidus were collected from the Saudi Arabian waters of the Arabian Gulf at Jubail City. These are the first documented cases of color aberration in those species. A description of the color anomalies is provided.
