| Many coral reef fish species aggregate at specific times and locations for the purpose of spawning. This study examined the spatial and temporal distribution of spawning aggregations in the Seychelles. An interview-based survey of the principal stakeholders, mainly artisanal fishers, yielded 89 reports of aggregation fishing for 26 demersal and semi-pelagic fish species. Grouper aggregations were largely concentrated in the outer coralline islands of the exclusive economic zone, whilst those of snappers and rabbitfishes were mainly reported from locations on the Seychelles Bank. The spatial patterns among fish families were attributed to a combination of differences in species abundance and distribution as well as variation in fishing effort. Spawning... |

| This report reviews the spiny lobster fishery on the Mahe Plateau for the 2002/2003 fishing season. In order to improve and maintain proper management of this resources around the Mahe Plateau, the monitoring programme, set up in 1992, was continued this season to collect more information on the spiny lobster stock. Following recommendations made after the 2001/2002 lobster fishing season, a total of 25 licenses were issued in 2002/2003 namely fourteen on Mahe, six on Praslin and five on La Digue. Similar to previous seasons, the most frequently used lobster fishing techniques was snorkelling which involved 21 fishing units, whilst only two units used the trap method and two used both snorkelling and trap. For this three-month fishing season, a total of... |

For the 2001/2002 lobster fishing season, a total of 40 licenses were issued namely twenty seven on Mahe, five on Praslin and eight on La Digue. Similar to previous seasons, the most frequently used lobster fishing technique was snorkelling which involved 32 fishing units, whilst only four units used the trap method and one used both snorkelling and trap. For this three-month fishing season, a total of 5.5 tonnes of spiny lobsters were... |
