Lifecycle

The Dover sole reaches maturity at 3-5 years old, at which point they can begin to reproduce. Spawning usually occurs between February and May but in warmer areas it can also occur at the beginning of winter. It usually happens in shallow coastal waters that are between 6-12 °C.

After the eggs have been fertilised, the incubation period lasts around five days. The larvae become juvenile fish after around 35
