In Area 34, domestic production includes all catches by coastal States in the "sub-Saharan region" and therefore excludes Morocco. Foreign production includes all declared catches of distant-water fishing nations excluding sub-areas: 34.1.1 (Morocco coastal), 34.1.2 (Canaries/Madeira Insular), 34.1.3 (Sahara coastal), 34.2.0 (Northern oceanic), but includes catches in "unknown area" and all tunas.
For Area 51, in the absence of relevant sub-statistical areas, figures related to foreign fleet catches are raw estimates by the authors, aimed at providing order or magnitude.
