Fisheries Research Agency Successfully Traces Released Flounder Migration Patters in Japan Sea.Tokyo, Japan, Jan 16, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - The Fisheries Research Agency (FRA Fra: see Angelico, Fra; Bartolommeo di Pagholo del Fattorino, Fra; Fra Filippo Lippi under Lippi. ) has developed a method of tracing released flounders using a DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. labeling technique. Using the newly-develop method, the FRA has analyzed about 3,000 released flounders caught in the Sea of Japan. The results show that, although some of the caught fish moved more than 300km, about 80% were caught in the same prefectures where they were originally released. Going forward, the FRA will continue similar analyses in collaboration with prefectural agencies. It is expected that the new method will contribute to improving efficiency in flounder flounder: see flatfish. flounder Any of about 300 species of flatfishes (order Pleuronectiformes).
