  abstract = {{L}ack of reliable data on the fisheries of northern {C}{\^o}te d'{I}voire reservoirs is a major limitation for management of the fish stocks. {A}s individual reservoirs cannot be studied due to the high costs and lack of trained investigators, empirical and production models have to be used to evaluate exploitation rates and fisheries potential. {D}aily yield ({DY}, in kg fishing day-1 year-1) and total catch ({TC}, in kg year-1) appear to be better descriptors than annual yield (in kg ha-1 year-1). {TC} is related to variables linked to nutrient availability (watershed area, conductivity and {M}orphoedaphic {I}ndex). {DY} is related to fish species richness and to reservoir area, indicating that fish population structure could be a key to understanding the patterns observed. {C}orrelation between fish population structure and yield was significant. {I}t was hypothesised that overall catch, {TC}, is related to nutrient availability, but that catch per unit effort is related to the presence of given species in the reservoirs, and particularly to the presence of bottom feeding species.},
