Report of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa, Dakar, Senegal, 21-25 May 2012
A permanent FAO Working Group composed of scientists from the coastal States, and from countries or organizations that play an active role in Northwest African pelagic fisheries, was established in March 2001. The overall objective of the Working Group is to assess the state of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and make recommendations on fisheries management and exploitation options aimed at ensuring optimal and sustainable use of small pelagic fish resources for the benefit of coastal countries. The twelfth meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of Small Pelagic Fish off Northwest Africa was held in Dakar, Senegal from 21 to 25 May 2012. The meeting was funded by the countries of the region, and it was organized by FAO and CRODT Dakar, Senegal. Altogether 17 scientists from seven countries and FAO participated. The chairman of the Group was Birane Sambe from the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem Project (CCLME). A first editing of the report was made by the participants of the Working Group. Final technical editing was done by Ana Maria Caramelo and Merete Tandstad. We are grateful to Marie-Thérèse Magnan for her assistance in the final editing of this document.
