Summary

The objective of this project was to assess and estimate the survivability of sole caught in the Solent (ICES Subarea VIId) inshore otter trawl fishery. This project follows a previous study of the east coast (ICES Subarea IVc) inshore otter trawl fishery and was designed to improve the confidence in a fishery wide estimate of sole survival in inshore trawling. There is a strong perception from the fishing industry that sole has a high survival rate in this fishery and, where sole quotas are restricted, landing undersized sole could potentially risk a premature end to the fishing season. Under the landing obligation, all sole (Solea solea) catches must be landed unless an exemption, based on scientific evidence demonstrating high survival, is awarded.
