The definitive study of the biology and life history of this flatfish and its fishery is the result of a lifetime's research by Dr Rae. The lemon sole ranks among the most valuable species on British markets and a greater knowledge of the fish will help fishermen to improve the size and quality of their catch. The book identifies for the layman the general distribution and spawning localities of the lemon sole and describes the development of the egg and larvae, its metamorphosis to the adult form and a number of other features of the species life history. Excellent figures and table support the text.
