    Eastern Central Atlantic Fisheries - Report of the Ad Hoc Working Group on Sardinella off the Coast of Ivory Coast - Ghana - Togo
    FISHERY COMMITTEE FOR THE EASTERN CENTRAL ATLANTIC
    1980
    Also available in:
    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.
