Seven species occur in inshore waters off the mainland coast of tropical West Africa ( Nielsen , 1963; Munroe, 1990; Desoutter in Quéro et al., 1990: 1050–1054) and one was recorded (under two different names) from Ghana by Irvine. One or two other species occur in deepwaters (> 200 m depth) offshore. On average about 5000 tonnes of tonguesoles are caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000) .
