Rock Sole (Lepidopsetta spp.) occur along the entire coast of British Columbia (BC), Canada, with abundance highest in Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. The majority of Rock Sole catch is taken by the groundfish trawl fishery. Two species of Rock Sole occur in BC: Southern Rock Sole (L. bilineata) and Northern Rock Sole (L. polyxystra). Rock Sole encountered in BC fisheries and research surveys are almost exclusively Southern Rock Sole. Rock Sole stocks in BC are assessed and managed as five separate areas based on DFO Statistical Areas. This assessment provides harvest advice for Areas 5AB (Queen Charlotte Sound) and 5CD (Hecate Strait). Limited fishery and survey data from the other three management areas (3CD, 4B, 5E) preclude the provision of quantitative harvest advice. Summaries of available data for these areas are provided (Holt et al. 2016).
