  abstract = {{S}ince its establishment in 2004, {C}ayar {M}arine {P}rotected area ({N}orth of {S}enegal) is characterized by a lack of information on its fish fauna. {T}herefore, it becomes necessary to characterize the fish fauna of this {MPA} and its dynamics in time and space for a sustainable management of this conservation area. {T}his present study investigated seasonal and spatial structure of the fish assemblage of {C}ayar {MPA}. {T}his study consisted of collaborative seasonal sampling with local communities from six stations within the four main fishing areas with two types of fishing gears, purse seine and long line between 2015 and 2016. {E}cological and trophic classification was performed in order to determine the fish fauna nature of this {MPA}. {M}ultivariate analysis like factorial correspondence analysis and hierarchical classification analysis were carried out to study spatial and seasonal structure of fish assemblage of {C}ayar {MPA}. {A} total of 103 fish species from 45 families were reported. {T}he most abundant species and the richest family were {P}agellus bellottii and {C}arangidae, respectively. {T}he fish assemblage was dominated by species of marine affinity and predators. {S}patial and seasonal fish assemblages differed both in terms species richness and fish abundance. {T}he highest and lowest species richness and abundance were recorded during the cold season and cold to warm transition period, respectively. {A} clear separation was found between stations where purse seine and long line were applied, in species composition and abundance. {R}esults from this study might serve as the reference point of the fish assemblage in {C}ayar {MPA}. {H}owever, further investigation on the environmental variability is needed for a better understanding of the observed fish assemblage organization in time and space.},
