EXPLANATION OF TABLES AND FIGURES

The format of the present report is the same as that adopted from the Seychelles Artisanal Fisheries Statistics for 1994. Data are presented by boat gear type thus: Summary (all boat-gear data)

Small boat fisheries (several boat-gear combinations) Whaler handline fishery Schooner line fishery Catch, effort and CPUE (all boat-gear type) Fish purchase and export Most information is self-explanatory but the following points should be noted: (a) Any discrepancy in the totals and the sum of the components is due to the rounding-up of data. (b) Number of boats: Details presented in Table 2 relate strictly to the number of units of fishing

power operating per month where part-time boats are regarded as 0.5 units. Table 5 indicates the actual numbers of full-time and part-time boats in operation. Whalers include traditional wooden boats and new fibreglass “lekonomie” and “lavenir” designs.

(c) Effort and catch per unit effort (CPUE) are expressed in terms of the number of trap set and

number of net hauls or sets for traps and nets respectively. For handlines effort is expressed in relation to the numbers of men, assuming one man – one line.

(d) Mean values of effort and effort rates have been calculated directly from sampled data. Raised

values of catch and effort presented in these tables will not always produce the same value of mean effort or catch-rate.

METHODOLOGY: DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSES

1. The Seychelles Fishing Authority ‘Artisanal Fisheries Catch Assessment Survey’ is composed of 4- boat type surveys plus data collection from Oceana Fisheries Co. LTD. The 4 surveys are:

(a) The Small Boat Survey (ArtFish) (b) The Whaler Survey (Whaler) (c) The Schooner Survey (Schooner) (d) The Sport Fishery Survey (Sport)

Full detail relating to the methods of data collection and analysis are presented in another Seychelles Fishing Authority report: “Seychelles Artisanal Catch Assessment Survey – Notes for Implementation, August 1990”. Interested readers should refer to this document for further detail.

2. This Annual Statistical Report contains information from the new whaler Survey, introduced

in January 1990, and so the detail differs slightly from previous years. The new survey more accurately represents the fishery.

SUMMARY OF 2007 ARTISANAL FISHERIES STATISTICS

During 2007, a total of 4184 MT of fish was landed on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue by approximately 351 fishing boats. 87% of the total catch was landed on Mahé. The total artisanal catch increased by 344MT compared to 2006, whilst the number of boats operating increased by only 6 units over the same period (excluding sport fishing vessels). The most important species groups landed (greater than 5% of the total catch) were bourgeois (25.7%), carangues (18.7%), job (15.7%), macquereau doux (7.5%), and cordonnier (5.1%). Peak landings occurred in November (612.8 MT) and the lowest in June (211.3 MT), the latter period coinciding with the Southeast (SE) Trades and sea states not conducive to fishing. The average monthly catch in 2007 was 348.4 MT, representing an increase of 8.7% over the previous year.

Seasonal variation in catch was observed in 2007. The mean monthly catch during the SE Trades (June – September, inclusive) was 248.6 MT, compared to a mean monthly catch during the Northwest (NW) monsoon (October – May, inclusive) of 398.6 MT. Catches of bourgeois continued to increase, reaching 1076.0 MT, with peak monthly catches occurring in October. Catches of bourgeois, macquereau, job, capitaine, other pelagics, grouper and shark and rays all increased over the previous year, while those of cordonnier, red snapper ,crabs, octopus, other trap fish and becune all declined. The percentage of the total artisanal catch taken by the small boat fishery (pirogues and outboards) was 25.6%, a slight decreased compared to 2006 data. Fishermen on foot landed 0.4% of the total artisanal catch, with octopus catches from this fishery totaling 12.9 MT in 2007. A total of 17.2 MT of macquereau were landed by pirogues using encircling gillnet. Macquereau (35.3%) follow by cordonnier (19.9%) continued to be the most important species landed by vessels with outboards in 2007, with other important groups in this fishery including carangue (13.7%) and other trap fish (8.9%). In 2007, landings by the small boats and foot fishermen were divided slightly in favour of pelagic and semi-pelagic species (56%) compared to demersal/ reef species (44%). Typical of previous years, the whaler handline fishery dominated artisanal fisheries catches, accounting for 63.3% of total landings in 2007. An average of 99 whalers operated each month during 2007, an increase of 8 vessels over the previous year. Bourgeois made up 33% of the total whaler handline catch. Other important species in the catch were, in order of importance, carangues (22.2%) job (19.7%) and becune (5.3%). A maximum of 22 schooners were in operation during 2007 and these vessels accounted for 9.3% of total landings. Bourgeois was again the most important species caught by schooners (43.4%), followed by the ‘others’ category (14.7%), job gris (8.9% )and carangue (8.2%) . In terms of contribution to the catch by gear type, handlines continued to be the principal gear used by outboard, whaler and schooner vessels,. In 2007, nets remained the most important gear used by pirogues. Harpoons are the main gear employed by foot fishermen. The catch distribution by boat-gear type the catch distribution was as follows:

In all boat-type categories, catch rates continued to decline for handline and static trap gear whilst an increase was observed for active traps. Catch rates for both whaler and schooner vessels decreased when compared to 2006.Catch rates obtained by pirogues using beach seine recorded a substantial increase in 2007.

Major species groups purchased were bourgeois (344.1 MT), job (77.4 MT), other pelagics (41.2 MT), red snappers ( 38.9 MT), Carangues (36.1 MT) and capitaine (36 MT). Fish purchases from foreign longline and purse seine vessels by Oceana Fisheries Co. Ltd and Sea harvest totaled 504.6 MT during 2007. Major species purchased were species classified as Others (182.3 MT) and pelagic fishes, of which bonito (used as bait for artisanal

2

fishing activities) was the most common (97 MT), followed by small dolphin fish (90 MT), marlin(53 MT), kingfish (32 MT) and yellowfin tuna (29 MT). In 2007, fish and fish product exports amounted to 383 MT. The bulk (78%) were exported fresh on ice to the EU and countries of the region, while most dried product was destined for Asian markets. These exports were valued at SCR 20.9 million (C.I.F). The main markets were the United Kingdom (131.4 MT), Mauritius (68.1 MT), and Reunion (50 MT). Bourgeois constituted 40.1% of the total export followed by other pelagics (18.25%), tuna (10%) and job (6.4%). A comparison of data collected between 1996 and 2007follows. The proportion of catch by boat type and number of boats operating shown in the following table does not include the research vessel (R/v L’Amitie) of the Seychelles Fishing Authority, which landed 3.3 MT of fish in 2007, contributing 0.1% to the total artisanal catch.
