  abstract = {{F}isheries acoustic tools, widely used in open ocean contexts, have become more common in shallow waters, but there is still a lack of information in ultra-coastal area (<15 m depth). {A}dditionally, environmental parameters beyond bathymetry, such as seafloor terrain, likely play significant roles for biocenose aggregation, distribution and diversity in shallow waters. {P}elagic fish shoals, aggregations of fish, are sensitive to environmental factors and can serve as proxies to monitor ecosystems. {V}arious physical parameters, such as time of day and distance to coast, influence fish distribution. {T}his study aims to investigate the impact of topographic variables on pelagic shoals across off-shore to coastal areas (5-500 m depth). {T}wo datasets from {F}rench {B}rittany and {W}est {A}frican coasts were analyzed to highlight global patterns and local specificities. {T}he analysis focuses on coastal and shallow waters, aiming to identify common patterns across systems while recognizing potential differences, particularly in upwelling systems. {T}his study highlight the importance of ultra-coastal area, with a high relative biomass ({S}v). {T}he analyze of common patterns revealed the importance of bathymetry in all studied systems. {S}ome other topographic variables have been discovered as important in many systems. {H}owever, each system presents its own specificities, with similarity between systems with or without upwelling.},
