Fish communities in East African rift lakes / The inland water fishes of Africa : diversity, ecology and human use
We report the use of generalized additive models to define possible thermal windows related to high abundance of Sardinella aurita and Engraulis encrasicolus in Senegalese waters. Landing data from 1999 to 2009, considered as an abundance index, remotely sensed thermal data (sea surface temperature, SST from AVHRR Pathfinder V5) and a temporal vari...

The Canary Upwelling System (CUS), a major eastern boundary upwelling system, sustains large crossborder fisheries of small pelagic fish, which poses the question of stock connectivity. Studies suggest that ichthyoplankton transport from the northwest African coast to the Canary Islands (CI) is facilitated by coastal- upwelling associated filaments...
The Northwestern Mediterranean Sea (NWMS) is one of the most productive areas of the Mediterranean Sea. The NWMS pelagic planktonic ecosystem is strongly influenced by hydrodynamics, in particular winter deep convection. Here, we investigate the response of this ecosystem and associated carbon cycle to oceanic and atmospheric winter conditions inte...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were investigated in European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) collected in the Gulf of Lions. The contaminants were determined in different organs and tissues of male and female adult fish sampled during the spawning and resting seasons. The influence of sex, age and repro...
