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).
Four species are likely to be found in the Gulf of Guinea (Shipp, 1981) and two were recorded by Irvine from Ghana. On average about 75 tonnes of triggerfishes are reported to be caught in the region each year (FAO, 2000).
