Soleidae (Soles)
Etymology: Bathysolea: Greek, bathys = deep + Latin, solea = sandal (shoe); refered to the flat shape of the fish (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecologia
marino batidemersale; distribuzione batimetrica ? - 310 m (Ref. 12965). Deep-water
Western Indian Ocean: west coast of Madagascar.
Size / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.0 cm SL maschio/sesso non determinato; (Ref. 26074)
Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 75 - 81; Raggi anali molli: 59 - 64; Vertebre: 43 - 44. Neural spine of second pre-caudal vertebra very long and curved anteriorly reaching to about one-half the length of the neurocranium; caudal fin entirely free from dorsal and anal fins, eyed side posterior nostril tube-like with a small pore opening just above labial groove. Pectoral fins filiform with less than four rays. Body pale brown in color with a variable number (3-5) of darker blotches along the body midline, along the dorsal fin (4-6) and the anal fin (3-5). More or less longitudinal rows of blotches are often observed on well-pigmented specimens. Branchial cavity and peritoneum darkly pigmented.
Minimum depth from Ref. 58018.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 12.2 - 18.5, mean 13.3 °C (based on 8 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
