Mauritania's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) Nike Air Force 1 Low Goedkoop , off its 754-kilometer-long coast, is reputed to be among the richest fishing grounds in the world. This abundant fish population is due to the permanent activity of the Cap Blanc up-welling phenomenon. It results in a phyto-planctonic explosion which constitutes the basis of an important food chain.
This richness of the Mauritanian waters in halieutic resources can also be explained by the role played by the coastal side of the "Arguin Bank" which acts as a "nursery" for fish and where the marine fauna finds favorable conditions for reproduction and development.
Fishing is definitely a key economic sector in Mauritania, although, surprisingly, Mauritanians themselves consume relatively little fish.
The total annual catch is above 500 000 Metric Tons, a large part of which being directly exported Nike Air Force 1 High Heren Sale , without offloading, to overseas destinations. A majority of the 300 or so ships trawl Mauritania's EEZ to fish cephalopods and other deep water species. The rest is split between pelagic fishing and crustaceans (shrimp and lobster), with some 50 to 60 ships each.
The fishing activity accounts for more than half of the nation export income, one third of its budget revenue and for about 36 percent of local employment.
Recently a South African based company has announced an investment of US$ 120 million for the building the very first fish cannery in Mauritania.
Mauritanian Fishing Stocks
Mauritanian waters host a very large quantity of fish which can be listed in various categories[1]:
1. Pelagic species
Those migratory fish swim in shoals and live close to the surface of the water or between two bodies of water. They are abundant in Moroccan - Mauritanian waters from November to end April and in Senegal, from June to end October.
Among them, different tuna like fish account for a yearly catch of above 3500 metric tons Nike Air Force 1 High Heren Goedkoop , such as:
o Bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus)
o Yellowfin tuna (Thunnus alabacares)
o Longfin tuna (Thunnus alalunga)
o Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus)
o Atlantic little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus)
o Skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis)
o Plain bonito (Orcynopsis unicolor)
o Atlantic bonito (Sarda sarda)
o Atlantic sailfish (Isotiophorus albicans)
o White marlin (Tetrapturus albidus)
But other large size species are numerous too, such as Swordfish (Xiphias gladius), Blue fish (Pomatomus saltator), etc...
The biggest catch, however, is made of smaller pelagic fish such as:
o Sardinellas (Sardinella aurita Nike Air Force 1 High Dames Sale , Sardinella rouxi),
o Sardines (Sardina pilchardus),
o Mackerels (Scomber Scombrus)
o Horse mackerels (Trachurus trecae, Trachurus trachurus)
o Etc...
2. Demersal or benthic species
They live on the seabed or in deep waters. Over 300 different species are listed, including flat fish, such as:
o Tongue sole (Cynoglossus browni Nike Air Force 1 High Dames Goedkoop , cadenati, canariensis, goreensis, senegalensis),
o Portuguese sole (Synaptura Lusitanica),
o Wedge sole (Dicologlossa cuneata)
o Turbot (Psettodes bennettii Nike Air Force 1 High Goedkoop , Bellcheri)
o Scaldfish (Arnoglossus laterna)
o Etc...
However, a large part of the daily Mauritanian catch pertains to:
o Seabream (Diplodus cervinus, Diplodus puntazzo, Diplodus sargus, Diplodus cadenatti, Diplodus vulgaris http://www.airforce1goedkoop.com/ , Pagellus bogaraveo, Spondyliosoma antharus, Plectorhinchus mediterraneus)
o Black seabream (Spondyliosoma cantharus)
o Royal seabream (Sparus auratus)
o Red Porgy (Pagrus pagrus)
o Dentex (Dentex Canariensis, Dentex Dentex, Dentex Gibbosus, Dentex Macrophtalmus)
o Red mullet (Mugil capurrii Nike Air Force 1 Kopen , Pseudupeneus prayensis)
o Smoothound (Mustelus mustelus)
o Bearded umbrine (Umbrina canariensis, Umbrina cirrosa)

o Smooth hound catfish (Arius heudeloti)
o Black hake (Merluccius senegalensis)
o White grouper (Epinephelus aeneus)
o Etc...
To be noted that some months ago, the Mauritanian ministry for fisheries has introduced a new set of rules which temporary prohibit the exportation of some species, in view to induce a stronger demand in fish from the local population.
This temporary ban applies mostly to Black narrow head mullet (Mugil capurrii), Cassava croaker (Argyrosomus regius) and Seabass (Dicentrarchus punctatus), but can be revoked for certain periods of the year.
3. Cephalopods
They are all migratory species caught by fishermen in coastal waters and include:
oCuttlefish (Sepia Officinalis) Air Force 1 Schoenen Sale ,
oSquid (Loligo vulgaris, Ommastrephes bartrami)
oOctopus (Octopus vulgaris)

oPink spiny lobster (Panulirus mauritanicus)
oTiger Prawn (Penaeus kerathurus)
oStrip red shrimp (Aristeus varidens)
oRed crab (Chaceon maritae)
oEtc...
5. Shellfish
The stock is quite large and mostly unexploited...
oWarty venus (Venus rosalina)
oClam (Venus verrucosa)
oEtc...
The Mauritanian Fishing Sector
The Mauritanian fishing sector is a mix of industrial fishermen (mostly foreign ship owners) and local fishermen and operators (semi industrial and artisanal). Some local fishermen can run up to 25m boats but most of them use canoes (pirogues). Those fleets are mostly fishing within the 6 miles boundary. Yearly demersal fishing catch is about 80.000 metric tons!
Formerly, the fish was only directly exported overseas or unloaded and transferred through places like Las Palmas (Spain), because of the lack of processing facilities and capacity to do so in Mauritania.
There are by now about 20 medium-sized fish processors in Mauritania, located mainly in the biggest fishing harbor of Nouadhibou (north of the country) Nike Air Force 1 Goedkoop , but also in Nouakchott (capital city).
