  abstract = {{T}he stock of the {S}enegalese flat sardinella, {S}ardinella maderensis, is highly exploited in {S}enegal, {W}est {A}frica. {I}ts growth and reproduction parameters are key biological indicators for improving fisheries management. {T}his study reviewed these parameters using landing data from small-scale fisheries in {S}enegal and literature information dated back more than 25 years. {A}ge was estimated using length-frequency data to calculate growth parameters and assess the growth performance index. {W}ith global climate change there has been an increase in the average sea surface temperature along the {S}enegalese coast but the length-weight parameters, sex ratio, size at first sexual maturity, period of reproduction and condition factor of {S}. maderensis have not changed significantly. {T}he above parameters of {S}. maderensis have hardly changed, despite high exploitation and fluctuations in environmental conditions that affect the early development phases of small pelagic fish in {W}est {A}frica. {T}his lack of plasticity of the species regarding of the biological parameters studied should be considered when planning relevant fishery management plans.},
