  abstract = {{T}he fishing sector in {M}ali is now in a general slump. {T}he {S}ahelian drought is primarily responsible for the low flooding, the decrease of floodplains and the lack of fish recruitment. {D}uring the lowest flood years, fish landings may decline by 40,000 metric tons. {D}ams built for agricultural or electrical use are also playing a part in reducing floodplain area: in 1989, the decrease of production was estimated at 5,000 tons, for landings of about 45,000 metric tons. {D}uring the dry season, the stock of adults, which are particularly in danger of overfishing, is partly ensured by the releasing of water from dams which disturb fishing. {T}he crisis which come from a natural phenomenon has developed sociological and economical disruptions. {T}he number of fishermen has doubled in the last 20 years and the catch per effort has reduced according to the decline of catches. {T}hus communal strife has increased.
