    The second meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Banjul, Republic of the Gambia, from 5 to 12 April 2002. During this year's meeting the emphasis was on updating the database as well as knowledge of assessment methods within the group. At the beginning of the meeting a two-days course in assessment methodology was held. A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinellas, horse mackerels a nd mackerel). For each of these, actualized information until 2001 is given on stock identity, the fisheries, catch and effort, biological data and abundance indices. A number of preliminary assessments for various species were carried out. Although the group is not yet in a position to make short/long-term projections, it is expected that the pelagic stocks will decline further in case of an expansion of the (industrial) fishing effort in the area. As a general recommendation the group therefo re suggests that the fishing effort should be restricted to the current level.

The Group assessed the status of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and made projections on the development of the status of the stocks and on future effort and catch levels. The advices for the stocks are given in relation to the agreed reference points F0.1, FMSY, B0.1 and BMSY and on the bas is of the projections for the next five years. A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinella, horse mackerel, chub mackerel, bonga and anchovy). For each of these, standardized information is given on stock identity, fisheries, abundance indices, sampling intensity, biological data, assessment, projections, management recommendations and future research.
