Top Twospot Largescale Flounder Fishing Countries

The Twospot Largescale Flounder (*Pseudorhombus dupliciocellatus*) is a demersal flatfish found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific, particularly along the coasts of South and Southeast Asia. Recognizable by its oval, flattened body and distinctive pair of dark spots on its dorsal fin, this species inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms at moderate depths. The primary countries engaged in the commercial harvest of Twospot Largescale Flounder are India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, where it is caught predominantly by trawl fisheries and small-scale artisanal fishers. These nations supply both local markets and, to a lesser extent, regional export demand, with the fish valued for its mild flavor and versatility in traditional cuisine. The fishing industry for this species is typically small to medium scale, and while not as prominent as for other flatfish, it provides important livelihoods in coastal communities throughout its range.
