dc.descriptionThe second meeting of the FAO/CECAF Working Group on the Assessment of Demersal Resources was organized in Conakry, Guinea, from 19 to 29 September 2003. The main aims of the Working Group are to improve the assessment of the demersal resources as well as the analysis of management options and exploitation which would allow the best sustainable use of the resources providing economic benefit to all the CECAF countries. The study zone for the Working Group is the CECAF zone of the Easte rn Central Atlantic Ocean between Cap Spartel and the Congo river. For reasons of heterogeneity the species and stocks of the demersal Working Group were divided into eight subsets: hake, demersal fish north, demersal fish south 1, 2 and 3, shrimps north and south, and cephalopods. For each of these subsets, information is provided on the fisheries: sampling intensity, biological characteristics, stock identity, data on the fishery (catch, effort, biological data and abundance indices) , assessment, management recommendations and future research. Approximately 40 different stocks-units were analysed and the results discussed. The Working Group decided that the majority of the demersal stocks were fully exploited and that, for some of them, the fishing effort should be heavily reduced.
