Valoriser le potentiel de la chaîne de valeur de l'huître de mangrove dans la République de Gambie
2021Also available in:
Fiche d'information sur les efforts de FISH4ACP pour valoriser le potentiel de la chaîne de valeur de l'huître de mangrove dans la République de Gambie. FISH4ACP est une initiative de l'Organisation des États d'Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (OEACP) qui vise à garantir la durabilité des chaînes de valeur de la pêche et de l’aquaculture en Afrique, dans les Caraïbes et le Pacifique. FISH4ACP est mis en œuvre par la FAO et financé par l’Union Européenne (UE) et le Ministère fédéral allemand de la coopération économique et du développement (BMZ). -

No results found.The sixth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Banjul, Gambia, from 2 to11 May 2006. This year, the Group made decisions on reference points for management of the pelagic stocks in the region. The advice for the stocks is given in relation to these reference points and on the basis of predictions for the next five years. The results of the assessments indicate that the stock of round sardinella is overexploited and co nsequently a decrease in effort in total sardinella fishery was recommended. The Atlantic horse mackerel was found to be probably fully exploited whereas the Cunene horse mackerel was found not fully exploited. Given that this is a mixed fishery, a decrease in the catches of horse mackerel was recommended. The mackerel was found not to be fully exploited, but given the mixed fishery with other species, it was recommended that the catches should not exceed 200 000 tonnes. The sardine stock in Zone A+B was found not fully exploited and the Working Group recommended not to increase catches above the average level of the last 5 years. The stock of sardine in Zone C was found to be underexploited and it was noted that the total catch level may be progressively increased during a five-year period. It was not possible to reach reliable conclusions from the assessments for bonga and anchovy, but in the case of anchovy acoustic estimates show an increasing biomass in recen t years. For bonga the catch rates are stable. The Working Group recommended as a precautionary measure that the catch level should not exceed the average over the five and three last years, for bonga and anchovy respectively. -

No results found.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.
