Abstract
Large catches of sole (Solea solea) were made in early 1996 from the s
outh-western North Sea. Sole suffer physiological damage in waters bel
ow 3-4 degrees C. In February 1996 cold water of 3-4 degrees C unusual
ly extended from the Continental coast onto the Dogger Bank. It is lik
ely that the increased catches were due to the consequential distribut
ion and behaviour of the sole, making them more susceptible to capture
.
