Dans le contexte des pêches canadiennes, le terme anglais «flounder» est aussi utilisé, non plus avec le sens spécifique de «flet (Platichthys flesus)» mais avec le sens générique de «tous les poissons plats commerciaux sauf le flétan»; on suggère alors de le traduire par le terme générique «plie». Le terme «flounder» possède un troisième sens encore plus général (flatfish) et on le rend en français par poisson plat. 6, record 4, French, - flet%20d%27Europe
