CARANGIDAE View in CoL View at ENA
At least 22 species occur on the mainland coast of tropical West Africa (Poll, 1954; Bauchot and Blanc, 1963; Smith-Vaniz et al. in Quéro et al., 1990: 729–755). Some 12 of these were reported by Irvine from Ghana. On average about 40 000 tonnes of carangids are recorded as being caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000).
Four species are likely to be found in the Gulf of Guinea (Shipp, 1981) and two were recorded by Irvine from Ghana. On average about 75 tonnes of triggerfishes are reported to be caught in the region each year (FAO, 2000).
