This overview gives a description of the major living resources of the Namibian part of the Benguela Current, and of the attempts that have been made, particularly in recent years, to manage them rationally and sustainable. The distribution and habitats of the most important harvested species are briefly described and discussed. Changes in the abundance and distribution of the commercially important species, as determined by acoustic and trawl surveys and catch-based analytical methods are presented. The importance of biodiversity in terms of management is discussed. The historic background and other factors influencing the evolution of the Namibian fisheries-management approach are highlighted and reasons why the management system developed the way it did is described. The level of success of the system in attaining the national goals set for development of the industry in the first few years after independence and the response of fish stocks to management measures are presented
