    The second meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish – Subgroup South met in Accra, Ghana, from 19 to 28 October 2009. The overall objective of the Working Group is to contribute to the improved management of small pelagic resources in West Africa through the assessment of the state of the stocks and fisheries to ensure sustainable use of these resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The Working Group focused on data quality and on the analysis of tre nds in the basic data (catch, effort, abundance indices and length distribution) and trends in the fishery independent survey data. The species assessed by the Working Group were: sardinella (Sardinella aurita and Sardinella maderensis), bonga (Ethmalosa fimbriata), anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) and horse mackerel (Trachurus trecae and Decapterus rhonchus) and other Carangidae, in the region between the northern border of Guinea-Bissau and the southern border of Angola.

    Les poissons pélagiques côtiers font partie des stocks halieutiques les plus abondants dans la dans la zone CCLME et sont aussi largement partagés par les pays dans les eaux desquels ils évoluent. Les espèces pélagiques les plus importantes sont la sardine (Sardina pilchardus), les sardinelles (Sardinella aurita et Sardinella maderensis), l’ethmalose d'Afrique (Ethmalosa fimbriata), les chinchards noirs et blancs (Trachurus trecae, Trachurus trachurus), le chinchard jaune (Caranx rhonchus), l’an chois (Engraulis encrasicholus) et le maquereau espagnol (Scomber japonicus). Ces ressources contribuent énormément au développement socio-économique du Maroc, de la Mauritanie, de la Gambie et du Sénégal et constituent une ressource d’importance stratégique pour la région, tant du point de vue économique que du point de vue de la sécurité alimentaire. C’est pourquoi il est aujourd’hui très important de mettre en place une gestion durable transfrontalière, basée sur l’Approche Ecosystémique des Pêches des stocks partagés de petits poissons pélagiques dans cette zone de l’Afrique nord ouest.

    Report of the Workshop on the Small Pelagic Resources of Angola, Congo and Gabon. Luanda, Angola, 3-7 November 1997 2000

    The document includes the national reports by Angola, Congo and Gabon on their small pelagic resources and the fisheries utilizing them. At the workshop, a total of seven working groups were formed to look at the following topics: • methods and results of the hydroacoustic surveys used to estimate the biomasses of small pelagic resources in the three countries; • migration and distribution of Sardinella maderensis; • development of an age-structured model of the Trachurus trecae stoc k; • assessments of Sardinella spp. and Trachurus trecae stocks using surplus production approaches; • surplus production models and the environment (applications of CLIMPROD); • estimation of the growth rate of Trachurus trecae; and • Ethmalosa fimbriata. The reports from each of these working groups are presented in this document. In addition, the final conclusions and recommendations arising from the discussions and analyses undertaken at the workshop are presented here.
