The Biology of Sole

This comprehensive review explores the biology of important flatfish species, The Biology of Sole, highlighting ecological and aquaculture aspects critical for their sustainability.

This book provides a comprehensive review of the latest knowledge on the biology of sole (Solea senegalensis and S. solea). It is organized into two main sections. The first section covers general fisheries, aquaculture, and engineering overviews, offering insights into the broader context in which these flatfish species are studied and cultivated. The second section delves into more specific aspects, including physiological, developmental, rhythmic, welfare, and genetic factors that are crucial for the aquaculture industry.

The importance of the species discussed in The Biology of Sole cannot be overstated. As flatfish, Solea senegalensis and S. solea are becoming increasingly significant in European fisheries, both ecologically and economically. This book serves as a valuable resource for understanding their biology and the various factors that influence their growth and sustainability in aquaculture settings.

Contributions from experts in academia and research institutes enrich the content, ensuring that readers have access to the most current and relevant information. The book not only highlights the biological aspects of sole but also emphasizes the implications for fisheries management and aquaculture practices, making it an essential read for anyone involved in this field.
