Disponibilité en poissons et pouvoir d'achat de la population dans la région du moyen Comoé (Côte-d'lvoire)

Abstract

Fish Availability and Buying-power of the Local Population in the Central Comoe Region (Ivory Coast). The origin of commercial fish found on local markets in the "Moyen Comoe" area is diverse : imported frozen fish, fish coming from Abidjan and smoked in Akoupe (South Ivory Coast), locally caught fish and fish caught in neighbouring countries (Ghana and Mali). The atlantic horse mackerel and the round sardinella (frozen fish) are the most important commercial fish species found on the markets. These fish, sold at 350 francs CFA, can be afforded by the majority of the households, 82 % of which spend less than 1000 francs CFA for buying fish and/or meat (beaf)
