  abstract = {{T}he {S}enegalese flat sardine, {S}ardinella maderensis is a highly exploited fish in {S}enegal, {W}est {A}frica; thus, its growth and reproduction parameters are used as key biological parameters to improve fisheries management. {H}ere, we studied these parameters using landing data from the {S}enegalese small-scale fisheries and a review of the published literature dating back over more than 20 years. {A}ge was estimated from length frequency analysis, from which growth parameters were calculated and the growth performance index was assessed. {I}n the context of global climate change such as the increase of the average sea surface temperature along the {S}enegalese coast, we found that the length-weight parameters, sex ratio, size at first sexual maturity, period of reproduction, and condition factor of {S}. maderensis have not changed significantly in {S}enegal. {T}he biological parameters of {S}. maderensis remained highly consistent, despite high exploitation and the









fluctuations in environmental conditions that affect the early phases of the small pelagic fish in {W}est {A}frica. {T}his lack of plasticity by this species should be incorporated into fisheries management plans.},
