The small flounders, mainly yellowfin sole, rock sole, flathead sole, and Alaska plaice, are mainly confined to the continental shelf. These species, except for flathead sole, perform extensive migra- tions, onshore in spring and offshore in fall. Con- centrations of these species, as catch statistics show, depend on the seasonal timing of the fishery. In 1977 the target fishery for yellowfin sole was in January-February and September-December. In these periods, the largest catches of yellowfin sole were taken east of the Pribilof Islands (Fig. 60-10).
