| Spiny lobster fishing in the Seychelles is an artisanal done essentially by skin divers operating at night in the shallow waters surrounding by the islands. Because of human population distribution lobster fishing grounds are concentrated on the inner granitic islands. In September 1992, a random stratified samoling program was set up to gather biological information from the entire granitic Mahe plateau. Direct census of fishery resources by Scuba divers swimming underwater transects was selected as the most feasible and expedient means by which to enact the Resource Survey. This report present partial result gathered for the survey around Mahe Island only and provides an estimate of the Maximum sustainable yield for the granitic plateau by extrapolation... |

Fishing for spiny lobster in Seychelles is a traditional activity in the shallow waters surrounding the main granitic Islands. Fishing is conducted at night by skin divers operating with lights. Following the development of the tourist industry during the seventies the local demand for lobsters increased to several tonnes a year. After being open for many years, the fishery was closed from 1983 to 1989. The fishery was reopen from December 1989 to May 1990, during which time an estimated 10 tonnes of spiny lobsters were supplied... |
