Synopsis (short abstract) The Working Group on Fisheries for Small Pelagic Fish (WGSP) reviewed the state of knowledge on the main fisheries harvesting small pelagic fish in the Southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) region, identified the species to be analysed in greater detail by the Working Group and carried out a Productivity-Susceptibility Analysis (PSA) of ten Small Pelagic fish stocks from the region. A total of 38 species of small pelagic fish were identified for future work of the Working Group. Of the ten (10) stocks analysed using the Productivity-Susceptibility Analysis, eight (8) were scored as being at low risk, while two (2) scored as medium risk. The WGSP will continue working by correspondence during the intersessional period, until the second meeting, to be held during the first semestre of 2021.

Le GTPP a examiné l'état des connaissances sur les principales pêcheries capturant des petits pélagiques dans la région du sud-ouest de l'océan Indien (SOOI), a identifié les espèces devant être analysées plus en détail par le groupe de travail et a réalisé une Analyse de Productivité-Susceptibilité (PSA) de dix stocks de petits pélagiques de la région. Au total, 38 espèces de petits poissons pélagiques ont été identifiées pour les travaux futurs du groupe de travail. Sur les dix (10) stocks de petits poissons pélagiques analysées à l'aide de Analyse de Productivité-Susceptibilité, huit (8) ont été notés comme étant sous un risque faible, tandis que deux (2) ont été notés comme étant sous un risque moyen. Le GTPP poursuivra ses travaux par correspondance pendant la période intersessions, jusqu’à la deuxième réunion, qui se tiendra au cours du premier semestre de 2021.

    This document is the final report of the Third Intergovernmental Consultation on the Establishment of a Southwest Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission, held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 27 to 30 January 2004. The Consultation was attended by delegates from fifteen FAO Member countries, one international non-governmental organization, two international development agencies and the United Nations Development Programme. For waters under the sovereignty of coastal States, the Consultation agreed that a re gional body for the management and development of coastal fisheries, with advisory powers only, be set up under Article VI of the FAO Constitution. For the high seas, it agreed that there should be a separate instrument, outside of the FAO, with the power to take binding decisions on conservation and management measures. The Consultation recognized the right of involvement of coastal States in the high seas instrument and identified linkages between the proposed coastal State and the high seas a rrangements. The Consultation also agreed on the draft text for a resolution to the FAO Council and for the statutes of a regional body for the management and development of coastal fisheries. Possible elements of a draft agreement for the high seas were briefly discussed.
