Stations cotières et station Vridi: exploitation des données des années 1984 et 1985

Along the Ivorian seaboard we have seven (7) stations where sea water temperature is measured every morning between 7:30 and 8:00. The hydrologic station of Vridi located at point A (5°05N, 4°05W) is generally exploited twice a week. In this report we are going to deal with data collected in 1984 and 1985. The irregularity of the dynamic height at point A enables us to identify water masses that go over the continental plateau.

Évaluation de la production primaire et de la chlorophylle à partir des données hydrologiques. Application au Golfe de Guinée

Quantitative relationships between nitrate distribution, chlorophyll and primary integrated values have been used to evaluate the phytoplankton abundance in the Gulf of Guinea. Data of Guinee I cruise (May-July 1968) of the R.V. Jean Charcot have been used. They show a large oligotrophic convergence area (< 250 mg C/m2/J). A relationship previously found between the depth of the nitracline (first level where the nitrate appears) and the depth of the thermal maximum gradient is confirmed. From a practical point of view, this relationship is very useful since it allows, when the biological or chemical data are not available, a rough estimation of phytoplankton integrated biomass and production in the water column, from a temperature profile.

Récolte et traitement des données statistiques de la pêche des palangriers asiatiques dans l'Atlantique

The authors report on the computer programmes developed in the Oceanographic Research Centre of Abidjan for the collection and treatment of statistical data on the fisheries of the asiatic trawlers in the Atlantic. They provide yield by boat, by fishing sector (5 degrees x 5 degrees) and by 15 days fishing in the Atlantic.

Distribution et abondance des larves de thonidés dans l'Atlantique tropico-oriental. Étude des données de 1963 à 1974

From several sources of data, the authors study seasonal variations of larval abundance for five species of tuna in Eastern Tropical Atlantic and its relation to the hydrological conditions. Distributional maps and TS graphs are given.

Récentes variations de temperature et de salinité à Nhatrang (avec une Annexe des données des autres points fixes établis dans le passé)

The authors expose results of recent routine observations and those of oceanographic stations undertaken in 1957, at Nhatrang. They introduce also in the Note, results of others fixed observations-stations for comparisons.

Récents séismes proches du Vietnam d’après les données de la station de Nhatrang

During the years 1957-64, eight local earthquakes have been recorded at the station of Nhatrang. A description of these quakes has been done and a drawing of experimental travel-time curves of different phases has been attempted

Chaines de traitement des statistiques de pêche artisanale. II - annexes et codages

The different coding methods concerning artisanal collective fishing in the Ebrié lagoon, are exposed. For each computer program one example is proposed.

Nôtre lagune en peril: l 'écosystème lagunaire Ebrié bouleversé par les interventions humaines

On their way to a better economical situation, developing countries are now starting taking advantage of the technologies, which made developed countries successful. In doing so, they are starting being confronted to the same ecological problems. Such is the case in Côte d'Ivoire of the Ebrié lagoon in the Abidjan region, the delicate ecosystem of which is now in danger.

Eléments nutritifs et production primaire dans les lagunes du Côte d'Ivoire : cycle annuel

This paper collects most of the information gathered between October 1974 and July 1976 within the framework of a research program concerning the hydrobioclimate of ivorian lagoons and especially the Ebrié lagoon. Monthly surveys concerning the latter were carried out during 1975. The following parameters - and their vertical distribution wherever it had a meaning - were systematically gathered in a system of fifty-five stations: Transparency (Secchi), Temperature, Salinity, Chlorophylla, Dissolved oxygen, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite. These data provide an outline of the annual cycle of nutrients and primary production of the Ivoirian lagoons

Campagne Rythnic 07/05/1980 - 15/05/1980: résultats des chalutages pour l'étude des variations nycthémérales d'abondance des espèces démersales de Côte d'Ivoire

As explained in the title, this campaign aimed to assess the diurnal vertical variations in abundance of demersal species off the Côte d'Ivoire

Statistiques des peche des sardiniers ivoiriens - annee 1982

The fishing in 1982 has been oriented towards Sardinella aurita stock, which becomes the target species with 11.200 tons over 21.300 tons, taking the place of Sardinella maderensis, which reaches only 4,800 tons. The high abundance of this species explains the decrease of fishing effort.

Campagnes Nizery: Togo 3 (16 au 18/08/83) et Togo 4 (28 au 30/11/83). Resultats des chalutages

This publication gives the results of the bottom trawlings made during the cruises Togo 3 and logo 4 by the oceanographic research vessel "Andre NIZERY" on the continental shelf of Togo during the estimation program of halieutic resources. The report includes: 1 - The report of the cruises Togo 3 and Togo 4 2 - Some information on the presentation of the results 3 - The trawl recording cards for the 2 cruises 4 - The length frequency distributions of the measured samples.
