SOLEIDAE

At least five species occur in inshore waters in the Gulf of Guinea (Desoutter in Quéro et al., 1990: 1037–1049), but only one was recorded from the coast of Ghana by Irvine. On average about 10 000 tonnes of soles appear to be caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000). Several deepwater species are also present (Nielsen, 1963).
