Survival of discarded sole in inshore trawl fishery 2016/17 - Fisheries Science Partnership
Description
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.
