Descripción
The document includes the national reports by Angola, Congo and Gabon on their small pelagic resources and the fisheries utilizing them. At the workshop, a total of seven working groups were formed to look at the following topics: • methods and results of the hydroacoustic surveys used to estimate the biomasses of small pelagic resources in the three countries; • migration and distribution of Sardinella maderensis; • development of an age-structured model of the Trachurus trecae stoc k; • assessments of Sardinella spp. and Trachurus trecae stocks using surplus production approaches; • surplus production models and the environment (applications of CLIMPROD); • estimation of the growth rate of Trachurus trecae; and • Ethmalosa fimbriata. The reports from each of these working groups are presented in this document. In addition, the final conclusions and recommendations arising from the discussions and analyses undertaken at the workshop are presented here.
