PAMBAS
 |
Provide Advice for a sustainable fisheries Management Based on suitable stock Assessment modelS |
|
The overall objective of the PAMBAS project is to improve knowledge of deep-sea shrimp stocks exploited by European (Spanish) fisheries in West Africa in order to improve the sustainability of these fisheries.
These fisheries operate either under European fisheries agreements (Mauritania, Guinea-Bissau) or under bilateral agreements (Angola, Guinea).
In order to ensure the sustainability of the exploitation of target stocks, the status of stocks must be assessed. A need for knowledge has emerged, particularly regarding deep-sea shrimp stocks.(Aristeus varidens et Parapenaeus longirostris).
The PAMBAS project was launched to create the conditions for a better understanding of the level of exploitation of these two stocks in the four countries where the fleets concerned operate.
By supplementing the data collection carried out as part of the DCF with two years of enhanced collection by scientific observers on board
By analysing the data collected to better define the different stocks exploited
Working with all available data (VMS, logbooks, ad hoc observations) to produce specific stock abundance series to feed into stock assessment models
By conducting stock assessments using all available and appropriate data and models
In light of stock assessments, by drafting and disseminating scientific advice on the status of exploited stocks
This work will be carried out jointly by two European research organisations (IEO and Institut Agro) and local partner institutions (IMROP, CRODT, CNSHB, INIMP).
We also benefit from partnerships with professionals through ANAMAR (Association of Spanish Shrimp Fishermen) and the Senegalese Cooperative of Deep-Sea Shrimp Fishermen (COSECPRO).
