- Abstract
A partial albino specimen of Rhombosolea leporina with a total length of 295 mm was collected from Manukau Harbour, south of Auckland City, New Zealand. This is the first record of abnormal pigmentation in the wild yellow-belly flounder from New Zealand waters. The specimen is patterned with a white blotch on the caudal peduncle area of the ocular side. Causes for such colour aberration are discussed.
