To study the functional morphology of the alimentary canal of flatfishes, the nature of mouth, kind of teeth, gillrakers, number of pyloric caeca and the position of stomach, intestine and rectum were examined.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Frequency of occurrence methods were employed for their stomach contents analysis. The result of the present study related to the type of food with the morphology of the alimentary tract shows flatfishes obtained from Cuddalore coast categorised into 3 groups i.e. Fish feeders (Psettodidae and Bothidae type-I), Crustacean feeders (Bothidae type-II, Pleuronectidae and Cynoglossidae) and Polychaete-Mollusc feeders (Soleidae).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>In Psettodidae and Bothidae type-I, the relative length of buccal cavity and stomach were much greater than in Bothidae type-II, Pleuronectidae and Cynoglossidae. However in Soleidae these two sections of the alimentary tract were less important.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>For the intestine the reverse was evident whereas the rectum exhibits similarity in all faltfishes.</span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;">Key words:</span></strong><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;"> </span></em><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;">Flatfish, Plueronectiform,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Feeding behaviour, Alimentary Tract </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;">---</span></p><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-layout-grid-align: none;"><span style="font-size: 6pt; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;">Suganthi Devadason Marine Research Institute, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tuticorin – 628 001, India </span></p><p>---</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: #333333; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;" lang="FR">Please Cite This Article As:</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: #333333; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;" lang="FR"> </span></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; color: #333333; font-family: ";Tahoma";,";sans-serif";;" lang="FR">S.
