Top Yellow Striped Flounder Fishing Countries

The Yellow Striped Flounder (commonly known in scientific circles as *Pseudorhombus javanicus*) is a demersal flatfish species recognized for its distinctive yellow lateral stripes and is primarily found in the warm coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific region. This species is highly valued for its delicate flavor and is an important target for both commercial and artisanal fisheries. The top countries harvesting Yellow Striped Flounder include Indonesia, Thailand, India, and Vietnam, where the species supports local economies through both domestic consumption and export markets. These nations have developed robust fishing industries centered around trawl and gillnet operations, with Indonesia leading in overall catch volumes due to its vast archipelagic waters and established seafood export infrastructure. Sustainable management practices are increasingly emphasized in these regions to ensure the long-term viability of Yellow Striped Flounder stocks, given their economic and ecological significance.
