Abstract
The karyotype of the Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus, (Lin naeus, 1758) consists of 24 pairs of chromosomes (2n=48) all of which are subtelocentric or acrocentric. The number and morphology of the ch romosomes of the Atlantic halibut is therefore similar to most other p leuronectid fish studied.
