Production Trends	Diet/Health Info
The yellowtail flounder population is seriously depleted and supply is scarce. The fish is the subject of intense rehabilitation projects to help restore its population. Because of its scarcity very little of the stock is exported. Most of it is consumed locally around the area of harvest. Supplies will be small and erratic while the population recovers	-----
