    The report provides a summary of the proceedings of the Fourth Meeting of the WECAFC Ad Hoc Shrimp and Groundfish Working Group on the Guianas-Brazil Continental Shelf and CFRAMP Shrimp and Groundfish Subproject Specification Workshop. It contains summaries of the national reports and technical papers presented during the meeting. A Supplement to this report will reproduce the papers presented at the Meeting. The major topics discussed included priority areas for a co-operative investigation programme and proposals for CFRAMP sponsored stock assessment and data collection activities. The main recommendations and priority areas for collaboration approved by the Meeting are included in the report. The Workshop agreed that enough data and information exist to do a preliminary stock assessment of the shrimp resources of the region and recommended that the next meeting of the Working Group should attempt this task. Bio-economic analysis of the available fisheries data in the countries was considered priority, through which optimal data requirements for the countries could be identified and alternative management strategies evaluated.
