| Main Descriptors | Considered a single stock: Yes
Spatial Scale: Regional
Management unit: Yes
Reference year: 2009
|
| Considered a single stock: A group of individuals in a species occupying a well defined spatial range independent of other stocks of the same species. It can be affected by random dispersal movements and directed migrations due to seasonal or reproductive activity. |
| Spatial Scale: Spatial scale contains a standard term such as Global, Regional (e.g. for the whole Atlantic), sub-regional (e.g. for a part of the Atlantic), national, local (for sub-national levels). |
| Considered a management unit: An aquatic resource or fishery is
declared as [Fishery] Management Unit if it is
effectively the focus for the application of selected
management methods and measures, within the broader
framework of a management system. According to the FAO
Glossary for Responsible Fishing, "a Fishery Management
Unit (FMU) is a fishery or a portion of a fishery
identified in a Fishery Management Plan (FMP) relevant
to the FMP's management objectives." FMU's may be
organised around fisheries biological, geographic,
economic, technical, social or ecological dimensions ,
and the makeup and attribute of a fishery management
unit depends mainly on the FMP's management
objectives. |
| Jurisdictional distribution: Jurisdictional qualifier (e.g.
"shared", "shared - highly migratory") of the aquatic
resource related with its spatial distribution. |
| Environmental group: Classification of the aquatic
resource according to the environmental group (e.g.
pelagic invertebrate, or demersal fish) to which the
species belong. |
| Reference Year: The Reference Year is the last year considered in the stock assessment and/or fishery status. |
| | | | | | Biological State and Trend Fcur/F0.1: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and F0.1. Fcur/FSYcur: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and the coefficient that would give a sustainable yield at the current biomass level. Fcur/FMSY: Ratio between the observed fishing mortality coefficient during the last year of the series and the coefficient that would give a maximum sustainable yield over the long term. Bcur/B0.1: Ratio between the estimated biomass for the last year and the biomass corresponding to F0.1. Bcur/BMSY: Ratio between the estimated biomass for the last year and the biomass corresponding to FMSY. Unless otherwise indicated, the indicators were based on the Schaefer dynamic production stock assessment model. Habitat and Biology Climatic zone: Tropical. Bottom type: Soft bottom clean sand; Soft bottom muddy or muddy-sand. Depth zone: Coastal (0 m - 50 m); Shelf (50 m - 200 m). Vertical distribution: Demersal.

Assessment Assessment year: 2011 The CECAF Working Groups have adopted the following Biological Reference Points (BRPs): - Limit Reference points: BMSY and FMSY - Target Reference Points: B0.1 and F0.1 Stock status is assigned based on current estimates of fishing mortality (Fcur) and biomass (Bcur) relative to these target and limit reference points (Bcur/BMSY, Fcur/FMSY, Bcur/B0.1, Fcur/F0.1). The results from the stock assessment of this stock are found under the “Biological state and trend section”. Assessment Model Type: Biomass-aggregated Schaefer dynamic production model The initial parameter values were: r (intrinsic growth rate) = 1.00; K (initial biomass) = 25 000 and BI/K (biomass of the stock at the beginning of the series of data, compared with the initial biomass) = 40 percent. Overall Assessment Results The model provides a reasonably good fit to the data with modification of the environment value 1 in 2000 and -1 in 2006. The model reflects the trends in the fisheries of Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. The results indicate that the stock is not fully exploited. Scientific Advice As a precautionary measure not to increase fishing effort as a series of more complete and better quality data are not available. The catch should not exceed the 2008 level (5 000 tonnes). Management Management unit: Yes Source of information FAO. 2016.
