  Fishery Resources Monitoring SystemFishery  Fact SheetCECAF Fisheries Reports 2011Spain Trawlers cephalopods fishery - Guinea Bissauwaters, 2011Arrastões espanhóis de cefalópodesFishery life cycle This fishery terminated on 2011.Overview: The restrictions of the access to Moroccan fishing grounds forced the Spanish cephalopodfleet to extend the scope of fishing agreements to other countries, first to Mauritania, from where itextended progressively to southern latitudes (Senegal, Guinea Bissau and Guinea). In these latitudes thecuttlefish species (Sepia spp.) are the main target species, with higher catches than in Mauritanian watersat this moment. Gears utilized by these freezer trawlers can be prepared either with chains (Spanishtrawl) or with bobbins in the footrope (Korean trawl). The preservation of catches is frozen, what allowslonger trips with an average duration of 50 to 60 days at sea. As said above, the most commoncephalopod species exploited in this fishing ground is cuttlefish (Sepia spp.) although octopus catcheshave considerably increased during lasts years, being even higher than those of cuttlefishLocation of Spain Trawlers cephalopods fishery -Guinea Bissau watersMain layersFAO areas and their sub-divisionsEEZAssociated layersGeographic referenceIntersecting layersAPPROACH: FISHING ACTIVITYFishing ActivityBottom otter trawls: Commercial;Industrial: Guinea Bissau; Guinea-Bissau;Atlantic, East …: All year longHarvested ResourceCuttlefishes nei; CommonoctopusEuropean squid;Senegalese hake; Benguela hake …   Means of ProductionStern trawlers freezerFishery IndicatorsData OwnershipThis document provided, maintained and owned by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , is part ofCECAF Fisheries Reports - Spain data collection.5000 km2000 nmiIntersecting layersIntersecting: FAO major fishing areasBase layers200 nautical miles arcsGeographic reference:  SpainSpatial Scale: National: Number of vessels: Number of fishermen: Catch Sepia spp.; Catch O. vulgarisTable of ContentsOverview - Fishing Activity - Post Harvest - Management - Status and Trends - Source of InformationFishing ActivityType of production system: Commercial; Industrial   Fishery AreaClimatic zone: Tropical.

The coastal areasare characterized by strong currents and occasional strong winds. The Guinea-Bissau ecosystem,located at the southern limit of the Canary Current System and the western limit of the Gulf of GuineaSystem, is characterized by strong seasonal variations of oceanographic conditions (Berrit and Rebert,1977). From January to February the continental shelf is marked by upwelling events.Characteristically warm and salty tropical waters dominate from May to June. With the progression ofthe rainy season, the intrusion of warm, low salinity inner waters tends to dominate. As a result ofupwelling events and the input of organic matter from river run-off, primary productivity is relativelyhigh in the area (Berrit and Rebert, 1977). There is a seasonal variability of the ecosystem, including ahigher productivity during the dry season (Domain, 1982). The biota have adopted strategiescompatible with this variability, as reflected, e.g., in feeding migrations of fish along the coast and thereproductive migration of shrimp into estuaries following the cycle of wet and dry seasons.Resources ExploitedCephalopods - Guinea-BissauEuropean squid - Guinea BissauOther resources: Cuttlefish and Octopus of Guinea Bissau (11ºN-12ºN), senegalese and benguelahakes, soles, dentex, pandoras and seabreams.Target SpeciesSepia sppFAO Names : en - Cuttlefishes nei, fr - Seiches nca, es - Sepias nepOctopus vulgarisFAO Names : en - Common octopus, fr - Pieuvre, es - Pulpo comúnAdultsAssociated Species (Bycatch)Loligo vulgarisFAO Names : en - European squid, fr - Encornet, es - Calamar, ar - ﺃﹸﻭﺭﻭﺑﻲ  ﺍﻟﻌﺸﺮ  ﺍﻷﺫﺭﻉ  ﺫﻭ , zh - 真枪乌贼Merluccius senegalensisFAO Names : en - Senegalese hake, fr - Merlu du Sénégal, es - Merluza del Senegal, ru - МерлузасинегальскаяMerluccius polliFAO Names : en - Benguela hake, fr - Merlu d'Afrique tropicale, es - Merluza de Benguela, ru - Мерлуза бенгальскаяSolea sppFAO Names : nullDentex sppFAO Names : en - Dentex nei, fr - Dentés nca, es - Dentones, samas, etc. nep, ru - ЗубаныPagellus sppFAO Names : en - Pandoras nei, fr - Pageots nca, es - Brecas nep, ru - ПагелыSparus sppPagrus sppFAO Names : en - Pargo breams nei, fr - Dorades nca, es - Pargos nepRelated Fisheries - Fishery(ies) switching activity seasonally or targeting thesame stockSpain Freezing bottom trawlers octopus fishery - Mauritanian watersSpain Bottom trawl octopus and cuttlefish fishery - Senegalese watersSpain Trawlers cephalopods fishery - Guinean watersVessel TypeStern trawlers freezerFlag StateSpainAverage characteristics of these vessels are 30 m length, 240 GRT and 900 h.p.Catch Handling and Processing EquipmentFreezingCrew20 persons (Spanish, Mauritanian and Senegalese nationalities) (2009)Fleet segmentBottom otter trawl for cephalopods with minimum mesh size of 70 mmFishing GearBottom otter trawlsGears could be prepared either with chains (Spanish trawl) or with bobbins in the footrope (Koreantrawl).SeasonalityAll year longTrip Duration50 to 60 days at seaPortsLa Luz, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) and Dakar (Senegal)Fishery IndicatorsType Measure Value Unit Time periodNominal Effort Number of vessels 8 vessels 2006Participation Number of fishermen 160 persons 2009Production Catch Sepia spp. 200 tonnes 2002-2006Catch O. vulgaris 300 tonnes 2002-2006Post Harvest Fish UtilisationConsumption and exportationMarketsEUManagementManagement unit : NoJurisdictional frameworkManagement Body/Authority(ies): Ministère de la Pêche et de l’Economie MaritimeMandate: Management.
