Abstract
  • The English sole is a major contributor to Pacific Ocean trawl fisheries off the United States and Canada. Only Dover sole and sometimes petrale sole provide greater annual landings in Oregon. English sole are considered fine eating sole and usually enjoy a good market. In British Columbia, local consumers of this popular fish have learned to relish the “iodine” flavor that can be detected in fish from some inshore waters. In Canada it is known as the lemon sole because of its resemblance in shape and color to the lemon sole found off Europe. In California it has been called the point sole because of its characteristic pointed head. The development of the Oregon trawl fishery in the late 1930's produced the first large landings of English sole. Demand for English sole increased during World War II and Oregon landings peaked at about four million pounds in 1946. There was an abrupt drop in landings in 1949 to about one million pounds reflecting a declining demand for bottom fish. Since then, annual landings have fluctuated around two million pounds with the exception of low landings in the mid 1950’s and an exceptional 3.5 million pounds in 1966. Total U.S. and Canadian landings have maintained a ten-year average of 10 million pounds a year. Oregon ranks third in production with California leading 1n annual landings.
