  abstract = {{T}his study investigated variations of landings of two key species, {S}ardinella aurita and {S}ardinella maderensis, in {S}enegalese waters over a ten-year period (2004-2013). {U}sing generalized additive models, it was found that fishing gear played a major role in explaining differences in monthly landings for both species (51-71% deviance explained). {I}ts effect was more significant in the southern part of {S}enegal. {F}ishing effort (number of trips) accounted only for 4-18% of variability in landings. {P}urse seine ({PS}) fishing was the most important contributor to the landings of both species. {I}n addition, in the southern area, surrounding gillnet fishing was also important for {S}. maderensis. {M}odeling results showed that the relationship between monthly effort and landings was generally positive and leveling off, while it was dome shaped for {PS}s and surrounding gillnets. {T}hus, when estimating fishing effort indices for management in {S}enegal, it is necessary to account for differences in fishing gears and the non-linear relationship between fishing effort and landings.},
