English-Dutch translations for flounder

bot
De helft van de met de boomkor gevangen bot is ondermaats en moet terug worden gegooid. Half of the flounders caught using beam trawling prove to be undersized and must be thrown back. Daarnaast onderstreep ik dat we een beleid inzake bot en platvis behoeven, zoals wij reeds hebben gezegd. I would also like to underline that we need a policy on flounders and flatfish, as we have already said. Ik heb voor dit verslag gestemd aangezien het pleit voor beperking van de visserij op bot en tarbot in de Oostzee. I voted for this report because it calls for restrictions on fishing for flounder and turbot in the Baltic Sea.
