| 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. |

Water Area OverviewBluespotted seabream - Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia Aq Res Struct Biological Stock: Yes The P. caeruleostictus species is commonly known as blue-spotted sea bream. It appears to be a single stock which is exploited by the same types of industrial and artisanal fisheries. The Working Group therefore decided to assess it as a single stock.

Bio Assess Assessment year: 2013 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”. Assess Models Type: Biomass-aggregated Schaefer dynamic production model The catch series of P. caeruleostictus for Mauritania, Senegal and The Gambia were used as total catch series. For the abundance index series, the Working Group tested the CPUE series of the Mauritanian artisanal fishery (hand line) and that of the Senegalese ice canoes. As the data for these artisanal fleets do not allow for a model fit, the data for the line fishing motorized canoes in Senegal were used for the assessments. Results The available data were not sufficient to obtain conclusive results for the assessment of Pagrus caeruleostictus. Sci Advice Considering the uncertainties about the origin of the catches and the representativeness of the CPUE of the stock abundance, as a precaution, the Working Group recommends not to exceed the 2008 fishing mortality.
