Young individuals can migrate many kilometers up rivers and to lakes and live there for several years, but can only spawn in salt water. Approximately 30% of individuals are left-faced, meaning that one eye migrated to the left side of the fish when it was a juvenile. The species can be distinguished from other flounders by having rows of pointed bone nodules along the lateral line and on the gill cover.
