BIB OR POUTING

BIOLOGY A member of the cod family, it is a common fish in inshore waters, particularly in rocky areas where large schools form around wrecks and reefs. Moves inshore to depths of 50m or less to spawn in March to April. Can attain a size in excess of 40cm, but more usually between about 20-32cm. The maximum reported age reached is 4 years. ADVICE Bib or pouting is a short-lived species common in British inshore waters. It is not commercially fished and therefore not assessed, and no information available on its stock status. When buying choose mature (over 20cm) locally caught fish. Avoid eating fresh (not previously frozen) fish caught during their spawning season (March to April).
