Association remarks	Reported vertical distribution pattern of American plaice aggregations in response to temperature changes; reference to deepwater and shallow-water aggregations (Ref. 94968). Spawning adults migrate from greater depths into shoaler grounds before spawning (Ref. 43395). Tagging studies show this species is relatively sedentary and form discrete populations with only short seasonal depth migrations as a response to water temperature changes; with populations tending to return to the same areas with little mixing (geographically isolated) (Ref. 86779).
