  abstract = {{T}he {C}anary {C}urrent {S}ystem, centred along the north-western coast of {A}frica, is one of the four major eastern boundary currents of the world ocean. {I}t sustains a large amount of small pelagic fish, mainly sardine ({S}ardina pilchardus; {S}ardinella spp.) and anchovy ({E}ngraulis encrasicolus). {O}ne of the particularities of this system is the presence of the {C}anary archipelago, which is close enough to the continental coast to allow exchange of biological material between the two areas. {W}e used intermediate-resolution (7 km) hydrodynamic simulations as inputs for an individual-based model to assess the transport of ichthyoplankton (i) along the {A}frican coast and (ii) from the {A}frican coast to the {C}anary archipelago. {W}e explored different scenarios of passive versus active vertically swimming larvae to assess the possible impact of vertical migration on transport and retention. {T}ransport along the coast was essentially southward. {T}he zone located between {C}ape {D}raa (similar to 28 degrees 45'{N}) and {C}ape {J}uby (similar to 27 degrees 56 {N}) had relatively high levels of retention in autumn and winter. {T}he zone extending from {C}ape {B}oujdor (similar to 26 degrees 12'{N}) up to {C}ape {B}lanc (similar to 21 degrees {N}) had high retention levels during the entire year. {L}arvae transported from the coast to the archipelago came mainly from the area located between {C}ape {G}hir (similar to 30 degrees 38'{N}) and {C}ape {J}uby, whereas larvae retained in the eddy field downstream of the islands originated mainly from the area between {C}ape {J}uby to {D}akhla (similar to 24 degrees {N}). {T}he results are discussed in relation to available field data of anchovy and sardine egg distributions over the continental shelf, and compared with oceanic surveys of larval presence near the {C}anary archipelago.},
