    A Workshop to plan the 1999 R/V DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys in the northern CECAF area and the standardization of acoustic surveys in the region was held in Casablanca, Morocco from 18 to 22 October 1999. This Workshop was a follow-up to the Workshop "A review of the surveys off Northwest Africa in the 1990s" held in Bergen in 1998 (FAO, 1998). The countries represented were the Gambia, Mauritania, Morocco and Senegal as well as Norway, Russia and FAO. The purpose of the Workshop was to plan the 1999 acoustic survey with the R/V DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN off Northwest Africa in November-December 1999 and to discuss the standardization of acoustic surveys in the Northern CECAF area as well as following-up on other recommendations from the meeting in Bergen in 1998. The Workshop stressed the usefulness of the results from the DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys and strongly recommended that the surveys be continued. The Workshop considered that the use of the results for stock assessment could st ill be increased at a regional level and therefore recommended to establish a Working Group on assessment of small pelagic resources in the same region as covered by the DR. FRIDTJOF NANSEN surveys. The Working Group on Guidelines provided a first draft of the Guidelines for acoustic surveys in Northwest Africa. It was recommended that the Working Group should meet again before the next acoustic survey in the year 2000.

    Report of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the assessment of demersal resources- Sub-group North, Tenerife, Spain, 6–15 June 2017/Rapport du Groupe de travail FAO/COPACE sur l’évaluation des ressources démersales – Sous-groupe Nord, Tenerife, Espagne, 6–15 juin 2017 2018

    A permanent FAO/CECAF Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal countries and from those countries or organizations playing an active role in demersal fisheries in Central-West Africa, was created by CECAF in 2000. The first meeting of Subgroup North was organized in Saly, Senegal, from 14 to 23 September 2004. The overall objective of the Group is to contribute to the improvement of the management of demersal resources in Northwest Africa through assessment of the state of stocks and fisheries to ensure the best sustainable use of the resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone of the Central-East Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the south of Senegal. For reasons of heterogeneity, the species and stocks assessed by the Working Group were divided into four groups: hake, other demersal fish, shrimps and cephalopods. For each of these groups information is provided on the fisheries: sampling schemes and sampling intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, trends (catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices), assessment, management recommendations and future research. Un Groupe de travail permanent FAO/COPACE, composé de scientifiques des États côtiers et des pays ou organisations qui jouent un rôle actif dans les pêcheries démersales de l’Afrique centre-occidentale a été créé par le COPACE en 2000. La première réunion du Sous-groupe Nord a été organisée à Saly, Sénégal, du 14 au 23 septembre 2004. L’objectif général du Groupe de travail est de contribuer à améliorer l’aménagement des ressources démersales en Afrique du Nord-Ouest par l’évaluation de l’état des stocks et des pêcheries afin d’assurer une meilleure utilisation de ces ressources pour le bénéfice des pays côtiers. La zone d’étude du Groupe de travail est la zone COPACE de l’océan Atlantique Centre-Est, entre Cap Spartel et le sud du Sénégal. En raison de l’hétérogénéité des espèces et des stocks, le Groupe de travail sur les démersaux a été divisé en quatre groupes: merlus, autres démersaux, crevettes et céphalopodes. Pour chacun de ces groupes, des informations sont données sur les pêcheries: système et intensité d’échantillonnage, caractéristiques biologiques, identité du stock, tendances (capture, effort de pêche et indices d’abondance), évaluation, recommandations d’aménagement et recherches futures.
