This book reviews up-to-date knowledge on the biology of sole (Solea senegalensis and S. solea). These flatfish species are increasingly important in Europe both from the ecological and production point of view. This book is divided into two sections: A. general fisheries, aquaculture and engineering overviews; B. physiological, developmental, rhythmic, welfare and genetic aspects which will be of immense interest for the aquaculture industry. Experts, from both academia and research institutes, provide their expertise on sole biology.

This book is a biology of fish seen through chemical analysis. It is divided into three parts. The first contains the text proper, which describes the dynamic aspects of fish chemistry, and the other two are bibliographical indexes of chemical composition, firstly by chemical substance and secondly by name of fish.
