  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">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.</dc:description>
