The Remo flounder, also known as the Remo sole (Syacium ovale), is a demersal flatfish found primarily in the warm coastal waters of the western Atlantic, especially along the shores of Central and South America. This species is valued for its mild, delicate flesh and is commonly targeted by both artisanal and commercial fisheries. The top Remo flounder fishing countries include Mexico, Venezuela, and Brazil, where the species is harvested using trawl nets and bottom-set gillnets. These nations have established local markets for Remo flounder, and in some cases, the fish is also exported to meet international demand. The fishing industry in these countries relies on the productivity of coastal ecosystems, and there is growing attention to sustainable practices to ensure the long-term viability of Remo flounder populations.
