Sardinella maderensis (Lowe, 1839) View in CoL
Irvine name. Sardinella cameronensis Regan. A junior synonym.
Reference material. Teshi, June 1930 (Irvine 103)— BMNH 1930.8 .26.24 (one: 174 mm SL) .
Distribution. Coast of West Africa from Morocco to Angola (Whitehead, 1985). Also occurs in the Mediterranean.
On average about 105 000 tonnes of this species are caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000), making it the one of the most important fishery species in terms of catch. Catches have recently doubled and current catch rates may not be sustainable.
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).
