Statistiques de peche des chalutiers ivoiriens - annee 1982

This publication gives fishery statistics relating to the landings of the ivorian trawlers in Abidjan in 1982. The data used are the inquiries made by the C.R.O. on the boats and the auction sheets of the fishing harbour. The data processing was executed on the C.R.O. computer.

Statistiques des peche des sardiniers ivoiriens - annee 1981

This publication shows the statistics of the sardinella fleet in 1981. These statistics are the catches and the effort by sector every two weeks. These data come also by month. At the end, ara listed the prices of the fresh fish in boxes at the criee. 1981 has been better than 1980, mainly for Sardinella aurita.

Campagnes Chalci, Chalci 84-01 (du 17 au 25-01-84) et Chalci 84-02 (du 03 au 11-07-84): resultats des chalutages

This publication gives the results of bottom trawlings made during the cruises CHALCI 84-01 and CHALCI 84-02 by the oceanographic research vessel "Andre NIZERY" sur le plateau continental ivoirien.

Observations de la temperature et des courants sur le plateau continental ivoirien

The Centre de Recherches Océanographiques d'Abidjan has carried out the HYDROBIOCLIMAT program in order to study the seasonal and interannual fluctuations of the physical and biological parameters over the continental shelf of Ivory Coast ; two subsurface moorings with from one to three AANDERAA current meters fixed on the lines, were deployed in front of Abidjan and San Pedro. Temperature and current measurement records are presented at these two locations.

La pêche artisanale en lagune Aby (Côte d'Ivoire): analyse des captures en 1988 et 1989

The exploitation of fish stocks in Aby lagoon was marked by an increase of total fishing effort, yields and therefore by the increase of total production. Fishing effort evolution was due to: the increasing of the number of beach seines which has increased from 26 in 1987 to 32 in 1988, the reappearance of syndicat seines and finally the importance of fishing teams activity.

Campagnes Chalci, Chalci 83-01 (du 11 au 19-01-83) et Chalci 83-02 (du 10 au 18-03-83): resultats des chalutages

This publication gives the results of bottom trawlings made during the cruises Chalci 83.01 and Chalci 83.02 by the oceanographic research vessel "André Nizery", on the ivorian continental shelf. The publication content is: - an introduction explaining the form of results; the trawl recording cards with the characteristics of trawl and the detail of catches by species; the length frequency distributions of the measured samples.

Lagune de Biétri: bathymétrie, courants et taux de renouvellement des eaux

An estimation of the currents in the Biétri bay is given (tidal currents and currents due to the wind). They are lower than 10 cm.s-1 in the whole lagoon, and near of 5 cm.s-1 in the eastern part. The measures of salinity and tidal observations give the average rate of water renewal, respectively 0.20 and 0.14 d-1 in the central and eastern areas.

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.

Manuel pratique d'identification des poissons du lac d'Ayamé (Rivière Bia, Côte d'Ivoire)

A taxonomic assessment of fish species was carried out in the Lake Ayamé as a preliminary evaluation within the framework of a project to appraise the biodiversity changes occurred in fish after the construction of a dam at Ayamé in 1959.

Bibliographie des lagunes et du littoral de Côte d'Ivoire (Afrique de l'Ouest)

The present bibliography collects references on lagoon and coastal environments in Côte d'Ivoire. It is mainly based on: - the draft bibliography prepared by Charles-Dominique and Durand in 1979, edited in the Archives Scientifiques du Centre de Recherches Océanographiques d'Abidjan (vol. 5 no. 2); - the synthesis on the marine environment, published in 1993 (LeLoeuff, Marchal and Amon-Kothias editors); - and the synthesis on the lagoon environment, published in 1994 (Durand, Dufour, Guiral and Zabi editors). In spite of a careful check of the available documents, it is more than possible that references are lacking or erroneous. That's why this bibliography is still a draft, and the author will be glad to receive complements and/or corrections from lectors. After these contributions, a more comprehensive version will be proposed. Remarks can be sent to this e-mail: arfi@ortsom.orstom.fr or to the postal address.

Synopsis de la classification des larves et des nymphes de diptères chironomidae des ecosystèmes dulçaquicoles de l'Afrique de l'Ouest: clés de détermination des sous-familles, des tribus et des genres

Synopsis of this numerically very important Diptera category, which is dominant and consequently of relevance in most aquatic environments.

Statistiques de pêche des sardiniers ivoiriens - année 1983

The sardinella fleet landed the same quantity of sardines in 1983 (11200 tons) as in 1982. Sardinella aurita catches would be more important if the "Syndicat des Armateurs" did not impose quotas - in July 300 boxes and in August 100 boxes by fleet by trip. The extension of the effort to herring stock increased the catches of this species and an over estimation of 44% of the effort have been observed in 1983.

Analyses physico-chimiques des eaux de la Lagune Ebrié effectuées de 1979 à 1981 au cours des programmes "Variabilité interannuelle" et "Baie de Biétri"

Physico-chemical data collections aimed to assess the interannual variability of the lagoon hydroclimate and the impact of an airport dam on the water quality of the Ebrié lagoon.
