Il existe une grande variété de poissons plats, dont les Pleuronectidae et les Bothidae(quelquefois désignés comme «plie»). Par exemple : flétan du Pacifique, cardeau, plie lisse, plie rouge, limande à queue jaune. 1, record 13, French, - plie

La systématique des poissons plats (flatfish) est pour le moins confuse, leur taxonomie encore plus. En toute rigueur, «flounder» désigne la plupart des plies, la fausse limande et les cardeaux, de distribution néarctique, ainsi que les flets à distribution essentiellement européenne et absents de nos côtes atlantiques. Dans le contexte des pêches canadiennes de l’Atlantique, «flounder» est employé comme générique pour tous les poissons plats commerciaux sauf le flétan; on le traduit par «plie». 2, record 13, French, - plie
Record number: 13, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Le terme «plie» désigne aussi spécifiquement une autre espèce, Pleuronectes Platessa, aussi appelé «carrelet» et connu en anglais du nom de «plaice». 3, record 13, French, - plie
Record number: 13, Textual support number: 4 OBS
Sur le marché [canadien] actuel, les trois espèces suivantes : plie canadienne [Hippoglossoides platessoides, the American plaice], plie rouge et limande à queue jaune, sont confondues dans un même ensemble dont généralement plus de 90% est constitué de plie canadienne. En conséquence, il est recommandé d’utiliser la dénomination «plie canadienne» pour cet ensemble. 4, record 13, French, - plie
