SPAWNING SECRETS OF THE SENEGAL SOLE. IN: REPROFISH, INVESTIGATING FISH REPRODUCTION IN EUROPE.

Progress towards the long-awaited commercialisation of sole farming continues but, it has to be said, at a gentle pace and not without some fingers being burned!. That seems to have been the reality of the last few years, but this rather depressing scenario does have to be tempered with the optimism that we will get there in the end! At least that seemed to be the mood of the most recent (the fourth) Workshop on the Cultivation of Soles that was hosted by the CCMAR of the University of the Algarve in Faro from 11-13 November last year. This article summarizes the results of this workshop and reviews last advances on research and development of sole aquaculture.
