5. FISHING EXPERIMENTS

A record of all fishing stations with total catch and the main species caught is shown in Appendix II.

A total of 131 hauls were made. Their distribution on areas and the range and mean value of the five highest catches in the bottom trawls were (in tonnes per hour):

Area	Number hauls		Catch 5	highest dem.
	Pelagic	Demersal	Range	Mean
Baia dos Tigres	6	6	0.1-4.2	1.4
Porto Alexandre-Benguela	7	2	0.3-0.5	0.4
Benguela- Luanda	38	19	0.4-1.3	0.9
Luanda - Cabinda	20	33	0.4-1.5	0.8
