  abstract = {{I}n the south at part of the large marine ecosystem of the {C}anary {C}urrent, off {S}outhern {S}enegal is situated a peculiar upwelling sector characterized by a major coastline irregularity in its northern part (the '{C}ap-{V}ert' peninsula) and a wide continental shelf further {S}outh. {T}he southern {S}enegal coastal {O}cean plays a major role in the national ecosystem production. {I}ts dynamical functioning is investigated using {ROMS} (regional oceanographic {O}ceanic {M}odeling {S}ystem) numerical simulations at horizontal resolution ~ 2km, i.e. resolving fine-scale details of the frontal system present over the continental shelf during the upwelling season. {T}he presence of {C}ap-{V}ert peninsula in the {N}orth exerts a major influence over the mesoscale activity, {E}kman coastal divergence and upwelling patterns, and more generally over the pathways followed by cold subsurface water feeding the coastal divergence. {O}ur dynamical analysis offers important new insight into the spawning









patterns of major exploited fish species observed in the region, e.g. during the recent surveys at sea.},
