Zebrias zebrinus is a ray-finned flatfish and member of the family Soleidae. [1]
The genus has been dubbed Zebrias due to the dark and pale stripes on its body resembling a zebra. [1] Based on observations the species can grow up to around 22 cm long but further information about this exact species is unknown. [1]
They are asymmetrical at adulthood due to the flatfish's ability to migrate one eye to the other side of its body upon maturity, but is initially bilaterally symmetrical when young. [2]
Studies have been committed that have successfully mapped its complete mitochondrial genome. [3]
The species is found in subtropical marine environments, such as shallow bays and estuaries, roughly 6–20 m deep around Japan and South Korea. [1]
