Resumen
Descripción
The eleventh meeting of the FAO Working Group on the Assessment of small pelagic fish off Northwest Africa was held in Casablanca, Morocco from 24 to 28 May 2011. The Group assessed the status of the small pelagic resources in Northwest Africa and made projections on the development of the status of the stocks and on future effort and catch levels. The advices for the stocks are given in relation to the agreed reference points F0.1, FMSY, B0.1 and BMSY and on the basis of the projections for the next five years. The structure of the report is the same as that of the previous Working Group reports (FAO, 2002–2010). A separate section is devoted to each of the main groups of species (sardine, sardinella, horse mackerel, chub mackerel, bonga and anchovy). For each of these, standardized information is given on stock identity, fisheries, abundance indices, sampling intensity, biological data, assessment, projections, management recommendations and future research.
