Cartilage Cartilage is a flexible but strong supportive connective tissue. Unlike bone and all other connective tissue types, cartilage is avascular, lacking blood vessels. For this reason alone, cartilage does not possess the regenerative capacity of bone or the other connective tissue types. Remember, nutrient delivery is essential for tissue repair.
The flounder is a species of flatfish that is found in the coastal waters of the northern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Flounder are found hiding on the ocean floor at depths from shallow coral reefs to the deepest trench on Earth.
Incidentally flatfish taken from exposed west coast beaches are the best tasting flounder as there is no mud to taint the flesh. On the east coast and in harbours and estuaries adult flounder eat shrimp, copepods, small mud crabs, small shellfish, a variety of sea worms and invertebrates as well as small fish. It is worth noting that flounder have been mentioned as a significant predator of whitebait.
