Sole, Lemon – UK Lemon Sole is a medium sized flatfish found
along the northern European coast on coarse gravelly and rocky
bottoms at depths ranging from 40 to 200 m. They mature
relatively quickly and live up to nine years. Lemon Sole appear
to be at medium levels of abundance, although information about
population size is somewhat limited. In the United Kingdom, they
are generally taken by beam and otter trawls as bycatch in mixed
whitefish fisheries that target Cod, Haddock, and Whiting.
Bottom trawls can damage the seafloor. Management of Lemon Sole
in the United Kingdom is limited and bycatch levels are mostly
unknown. This fish may have high levels of PCBs that could pose
a health risk to adults and children. More contaminant info
