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. |

Bio Assess Assessment year: 2021 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”. Sci Advice The stock was considered not fully exploited in 2021. An 8 percent decrease in catch was recorded in 2021 compared to 2020. Biomass has improved but significant catches have been recorded in recent years with the emergence of an inshore fleet in Mauritania. In this last zone, abundance indices are lacking. The average size of the sardine caught showed an overall downward trend, hence the need to be vigilant in the exploitation of this stock. This stock is strongly influenced by environmental factors and exhibits fluctuations in biomass independent of fishing. For this reason, the total allowable catch must be adapted to the natural variations of the stock. Stock structure and abundance should also be closely monitored through fishery-independent methods, such as coordinated acoustic surveys throughout the species' range.
