Synopsis (short abstract) The first Ad hoc working group on the sardinella stocks in CECAF Statistical Division 34.3.4 was held at the Centre de recherches ocanographiques, Abidjan, Ivory Coast, from 28 June to 3 July 1976 through the joint efforts of the Fishery Research Unit of Ghana and the Centre de recherches ocanographiques of Ivory Coast. The apparent collapse of the sardinella stocks and the simultaneous explosion of the triggerfish (Balistes capriscus) were discussed by the working group. Assessment of the colla pse of the round sardinella (Sardinella aurita) was difficult due to lack of accurate information on many of the key parameters. In view of the current increase in the landings of S. aurita, a second meeting was planned to re-examine these problems. Scientists were invited from Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Togo to participate in the working group which was originally scheduled to take place at the Fishery Research Unit, Tema, Ghana, from 2 to 7 July 1979. It was, unfortunately, not possible t o hold the meeting with all the invited scientists.

    The ad hoc Working Group on the evaluation of shrimp resources in the southern division of the CECAF region met at the Centre de recherches océanographiques, Abidjan, under the chairmanship of Dr S. Garcia of the Centre de recherches océanographiques de Dakar-Thiaroye. This meeting was organized by the CECAF Project in order to assess the state of exploitation of shrimp stocks in the Ivory Coast-Congo sector and to recommend management measures. In view of the management meetings proposed during the 5th Session of CECAF in Lomé in March 1977 (Resolution CECAF/V/2, CECAF, 1977 b), the Group particularly examined the stocks of shrimps off Nigeria and Cameroon. The CECAF Project would like to express its gratitude to His Excellency the Minister of Scientific Research of the Republic of Ivory Coast and Mr H. Rotschi, Director of the Centre de recherches océanographiques, Abidjan, for their cooperation in making it possible for the Working Group to meet in Ivory Coast.

    Rapport du Groupe de Travail Ad Hoc sur les Sardinelles des Côtes de Côte-d’Ivoire-Ghana-Togo
    COMITE DES PECHES POUR L'ATLANTIQUE CENTRE-EST
    1980
    Also available in:
    Grâce aux efforts conjoints du "Fishery Research Unit" de Ghana et du Centre de recherches océanographiques de Côte-d'Ivoire, le Groupe ad hoc de travail sur les stocks de sardinelles présents dans la Division statistique 34.3.4 du COPACE a pu tenir sa première réunion, du 28 juin au 3 juillet 1976, à Abidjan, Côte-d'Ivoire. Les discussions du Groupe de travail ont porté sur la réduction considérable des stocks de sardinelles et l'augmentation simultanée des stocks de balistes (Balistes capriscu s). Le manque de données recueillies, pendant la période d'observation, sur les principaux paramètres n'a pas permis une estimation précise de la réduction des stocks de Sardinella aurita. Cette seconde réunion du Groupe ad hoc a été organisée pour examiner à nouveau le problème, compte tenu de l'augmentation des mises à terre de S. aurita enregistrée actuellement. Des chercheurs du Sénégal, de la Côte-d'Ivoire, du Ghana et du Togo ont été invités à participer à cette réunion, initialement prévu e au Fishery Research Unit à Tema, Ghana du 2 au 7 juillet 1979. Malheureusement la réunion n'a pu se dérouler avec la participation de tous les chercheurs invités.
