Notes:
Solea solea start to appear in the Tamar Estuary in April–May when they are 10 mm long. The majority of young sole move into the estuary in June–July. Most sole leave the estuary towards the end of their second year in October–November, when they have reached a total length of 150–200 mm. The young O-group fish remain in the main channel, whereas the I-group move with the tide onto the mud-flats.Approximately 7000 fish were marked by freeze-branding or dye-injection. The recaptures showed that there was an up-estuary migration in May–June. Most of the recaptures were taken at the site of original capture and there was only a limited movement of fish between adjacent mud-flat areas. Average growth rate tends to be greater in sole inhabiting the upper reaches of the estuary.
