| dc.description | 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 main objective of the working group is to propose options for stock management and exploitation of their fisheries and provide catch advice for each year, as well as to improve the assessment of the small pelagic resources for the economic benefit of Morocco, Mauritania, the Gambia and Senegal and ensure optimal sustainability of the resources. The meeting was held in Agadir, Morocco, from 31 March to 10 April 2003. A total of 19 scientists from eight countries and FAO participated. As a precautionary approach, the working group recommended that the catch levels of small pelagics should not exceed the average recorded during the last five years. For sardinella, it recommended that the combined catch of both species in 2004 should not exceed the mean le vel of the preceding three years, i.e. 420 000 tonnes. | |
