Alternative title(s)

FSP Sole survival

Abstract

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.

Lineage

This work was carried out as part of both the Fisheries Science Partnership (FSP) programme and the ASSIST project (Applied Science to Support the Industry in delivering an end to discards), two Defra-funded collaborative programmes of scientific research between the UK fishing industry and scientists. Article 15 of the reformed Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) Basic Regulation, which came into force on January 1st 2014, introduced a phased discard ban or landing obligation. The policy includes several exemptions and flexibility tools. One exemption from the landing obligation is described for *“* *species for which scientific evidence demonstrates high survival rates, considering the characteristics of the gear, of the fishing practices and of the ecosystem* *”.* To support any proposed exemption, scientific evidence for discard survival rates are required.
