Description: "The Symposium "Science and the Challenge of Managing Small Pelagic Fisheries on Shared Stocks in Northwest Africa" took place in Casablanca, Morocco, from 11 to 14 March 2008. It was attended by around 100 participants. Forty-three oral presentations and 30 posters were presented. The Symposium was split into four main sessions: resources and exploitation-biology and ecology of main resources and status of fisheries; dynamics and variability of pelagic fish populations and environmental influences; methods and models for assessing small pelagic fish stocks; and management of fisheries on shared resources. The Symposium ended with a general discussion aiming to identify specific problems to address as well as providing recommendations on ways forward. These Proceedings present a summary of the various sessions as well as on the outcomes of the discussion. They also provide scientifically reviewed papers and many of the papers in support of posters presented at the Symposium (non-scientifically reviewed). The papers and posters are available at www.smallpelagics2008.org ."--Page v.
