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