How long do flounders live?

The lifespan of a flounder varies depending on the species. Some flounder species, such as the winter flounder and the yellowtail flounder, can live for up to 30 years in the wild. The lifespan of the summer flounder is significantly shorter, with most individuals living for less than 10 years. However, some larger flounder individuals may live for up to 15 years in the wild. In captivity, the lifespan of a flounder is dependent on the quality of care they receive.
