  abstract = {{S}everal authors, with estimated abundance index, attempted to study the dynamic of {S}ardinella populations in relation with to their environment fluctuations in {W}est {A}frican region. {H}owever, this relationship still poorly understood because of the complexity and difficulty to estimate this abundance index that depends on a variable difficult to identify, the fishing effort from artisanal fisheries. {T}his study is a contribution to better understand the link between the variability of environmental conditions and the dynamic of {S}ardinella aurita and {S}ardinella maderensis in {S}enegalese waters using generalized additive model. {R}ecruitment data of these two species estimated from the virtual population analysis model, sea surface temperature, coastal upwelling index, wind speed, surface chlorophyll concentration and north {A}tlantic oscillation index within 2004-2013 period were used. {O}ur results showed that recruitment of these two small pelagic species are closely linked to changes in the climatic variables tested. {H}owever, variables playing the most critical roles differ from one species to another. {F}or the {S}. aurita, the index of coastal upwelling is the most important factor, while for {S}. maderensis is the {SST} which plays the leading role. {T}his study also reveals the existence of temperature, intensity of upwelling, wind speed, concentration of chlorophyll-a and north {A}tlantic oscillation index thresholds above or below which {S}ardinella recruitment success is low.},
