Talk:Turbot

Wrong/bad linking
Family Scophthalmidae is linked to Genus Psetta maxima. This is not correct since family is not genus. The linking must be corrected.

(hopefully) sorted. Scophthalmidae is now an article. Totnesmartin 12:47, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Pronunication
Writing the word with different letters in this fashion is not useful. I can't think of any way in which 'turbit' relates to any pronunciation of the name of this fish that is useful.

Photo
What on earth (or in the sea) is that supposed to be a photo of?

Proposed Link
The copyrighted web page at http://www.pacseafood.com/products/flounder.html has much useful information about nomenclature and its misuse in the marketplace. It might be good to add it as an external reference. peter (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
