Abstract

Over the last few years, fishing has become the most important primary economic sector in Senegal, ahead of phosphates and groundnuts. In 2000, according to OEPS, the Economic Observatory for Fishing in Senegal, some 330,000 tonnes of fish were caught, of which the artisanal sector contributed 85 per cent. The 1997 census indicated that more than 44,000 artisanal fishers were operating from around 7,600 seagoing pirogues, 90 per cent of which were motorized, according to the Directorate of Oceanography and Marine Fisheries and the Dakar Thiaroye Centre for Oceanograohic Research (CRODT).
