  abstract = {{S}mall pelagics are the main fish resource in {N}orth {W}est {A}frica. {I}n {S}enegal, these are mainly sardinellas ({S}ardinella aurita and {S}. maderensis) and bonga shad ({E}thmalosa fimbriata). {T}he fisheries, mainly encircling gillnets and purse seines, are predominantly performed by artisanal fishers and are of great importance for the {S}enegalese economy and for food security in the region. {H}owever, in recent years, the main conditions for these fisheries have changed and recent observations have shown strong declines in profit. {A}n analysis over the last twenty years (1993-2013) show that the fisheries lost profit between 65% and 100% while operating costs increased by 25% and 90%, for encircling gillnet and purse seine, respectively. {W}hile the fuel price dominates as determining factor during the survey period, important other drivers during the last five years were a decrease in fish biomass and an increase in fishing effort.},
