Voyage au Bresil : ou l'on trouve la description du pays, de ses productions, de ses habitants, et de la ville et des provinces de san-salvatore et porto-seguro, avec une table correcte des latitudes et longitudes des ports de la cote du bresil, ainsi qu'un tableau du change, etc

Voyage au Brésil narra a experiência de observar a vida e os costumes dos habitantes do Brasil e oferece um registro cheio de interesse sociológico e até científico. Segundo Rubens Borba de Moraes, " é obra valiosíssima sobre a Bahia colonial", sendo esta edição mais preciosa que a inglesa de 1805. A obra foi traduzida também para o alemão. Afonso de Taunay resume e comenta o livro de Lindley em Aventuras de Thomas Lindley.

La peche artisanale maritime en Cote d'Ivoire: le potentiel de peche

The marine artisanal fishery in Ivory Coast covers all the continental shelf, with high activities around Abidjan and San-Pedro. Four types of fishing tackles are recorded: purse seines, beach seines, gillnets and lines. The first three ones are used by Fanti and Awran, who represent three quarters of total artisanal fishermen; lines are used by Ghan, Aladjan and Nanakrou. Canoe, the only artisanal way of navigation, varies in size and shape according to the different fishing communities.

L'oxygene au large de Grand Bassam (Cote d'Ivoire)

The present paper deals with the variations of the dissolved oxygen content off Grand Bassam (11 miles east of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire), during nearly five years (March 1966 to September 1970). Although we find in general the low oxygen values near the bottom, the dissolved oxygen content is at its absolute minimum during the upwelling. There is a good correlation between the Secchi depth and the depth of the well ventilated layer. About 10% of surface irradiance is found at the layer where the dissolved oxygen content equals 80% of the oxygen content found at surface.

A database for the industrial trawl fishery of Cote d'Ivoire

Fishery statistics for the industrial trawl fishery of Cote d'Ivoire have been well documented since 1968. However, data processing has changed significantly with time and some of the data files have been lost. In 1997, the Centre de Recherches Oceanologiques d'Abidjan decided to retrieve and process all trawl data available from different sources. This paper gives an overview of the database covering the period 1968 to 1997 and describes its coverage, format, structure and use. The database was developed using MS ACCESS and is a powerful tool for storing information about this fishery, and for analysis of its dynamics over a period of 30 years.
