  • Statistiques de la pêche collective en Lagune Ebrié (1978-1979)

    Ecoutin, J.M.; Bert, A. (1981-04)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanographiques, Abidjan
    A first treatment of the statistical data of 1978 and 1979 on the collective fishing showed a decrease of total catches in the Ebrié Lagoon. The same diminution was found in the amount of smoked-fish collected in two different places of the lagoon. This fall is due to a smaller effort in the lagoon of the purse-seines in the Abidjan area and a decrease of the catches per unit of effort.

  • La peche artisanale maritime en Cote d'Ivoire: le potentiel de peche

    Bouberi, D.; Hie Dare, J.P.; Konan, J. (1983-01)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Oceanographiques, Abidjan
    The marine artisanal fishery in Ivory Coast covers all the continental shelf, with high activities around Abidjan and San-Pedro. Four types of fishing tackles are recorded: purse seines, beach seines, gillnets and lines. The first three ones are used by Fanti and Awran, who represent three quarters of total artisanal fishermen; lines are used by Ghan, Aladjan and Nanakrou. Canoe, the only artisanal way of navigation, varies in size and shape according to the different fishing communities.

  • Statistiques de pêche des sardiniers ivoiriens - année 1983

    Bouberi, D. (1984-10)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Oceanographiques, Abidjan
    The sardinella fleet landed the same quantity of sardines in 1983 (11200 tons) as in 1982. Sardinella aurita catches would be more important if the "Syndicat des Armateurs" did not impose quotas - in July 300 boxes and in August 100 boxes by fleet by trip. The extension of the effort to herring stock increased the catches of this species and an over estimation of 44% of the effort have been observed in 1983.
  • Méthodes simples de determination du CO2 total et du carbone organique dissous en eau saumâtre

    Lemasson, L.; Pages, J. (1980-12)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanographiques, Abidjan
    Total CO2 of brackish water (Ebrié lagoon) is measured with a simple method: degassing and trapping CO2 in NaOh solution, the conductivity of which is a function of the trapped CO2 quantity. A relation CO2 versus salinity is deduced; it is nearly the same as the one deduced from CO2 measurements performed from alkalinity. Dissolved organic C is evaluated with a CHN analyser by evaporating 0.5 ml of acidified sample. Variation coefficient is near 10% for the lagoon values.
  • Ecologie benthique de la Lagune Ebrié. Théorie sur la méthode du DR' pour la mise en évidence de biocoenoses

    Zabi, S.G. (1978-07)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanographiques, Abidjan

  • Stations cotières et station hydrologique cotière d'Abidjan années 1977, 1978 et 1979

    Cissoko, S. (1982-06)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanographiques, Abidjan
    On tables 1 to 12, daily beach surface temperatures are presented. These temperatures are also ploted on figures 2 to 5 in daily values and in 7, 15, 30 days means. Salinity variations are less important than these of temperature (Fig. 6, 7). It follows that during upwelling period, variations of dynamic height anomaly are closely correlated with temperature (Fig. 6 and 8).

  • Bibliographie des lagunes et du littoral de Côte d'Ivoire (Afrique de l'Ouest)

    Arfi, R. (1997-05)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanologiques, Abidjan
    The present bibliography collects references on lagoon and coastal environments in Côte d'Ivoire. It is mainly based on: - the draft bibliography prepared by Charles-Dominique and Durand in 1979, edited in the Archives Scientifiques du Centre de Recherches Océanographiques d'Abidjan (vol. 5 no. 2); - the synthesis on the marine environment, published in 1993 (LeLoeuff, Marchal and Amon-Kothias editors); - and the synthesis on the lagoon environment, published in 1994 (Durand, Dufour, Guiral and Zabi editors). In spite of a careful check of the available documents, it is more than possible that references are lacking or erroneous. That's why this bibliography is still a draft, and the author will be glad to receive complements and/or corrections from lectors. After these contributions, a more comprehensive version will be proposed. Remarks can be sent to this e-mail: arfi@ortsom.orstom.fr or to the postal address.
  • Macrophytes aquatiques dans les eaux "continentales" ivoiriennes

    N'dah, E.; Arfi, R. (1996-06)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanologiques, Abidjan
    Inventory and socio-economic impacts of water weed are presented. Free-floating species (Eichhornia crassipes, Pistia strationes) floating leaves plants (Nymphaea lotus, Polygonum senegalense) as well as emerged species such as Echinochloa pyramidalis and Nelumbo nucifera are the most common species in the concerned aquatic environments. These plants have been colonizing these environments for about a decade and the colonized area are equivalent to 70 % of the whole of the water surface. Besides, these plants strongly affect water quality and constitute a nuisance for water uses.
  • Manuel pratique d'identification des poissons du lac d'Ayamé (Rivière Bia, Côte d'Ivoire)

    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Oceanographiques, Abidjan
    A taxonomic assessment of fish species was carried out in the Lake Ayamé as a preliminary evaluation within the framework of a project to appraise the biodiversity changes occurred in fish after the construction of a dam at Ayamé in 1959.

  • Lagune de Biétri: bathymétrie, courants et taux de renouvellement des eaux

    Lemasson, L.; Pages, J.; Dufour, P. (1981-12)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Océanographiques, Abidjan
    An estimation of the currents in the Biétri bay is given (tidal currents and currents due to the wind). They are lower than 10 cm.s-1 in the whole lagoon, and near of 5 cm.s-1 in the eastern part. The measures of salinity and tidal observations give the average rate of water renewal, respectively 0.20 and 0.14 d-1 in the central and eastern areas.
  • Stations cotières et station Vridi: exploitation des données des années 1984 et 1985

    Bakayoko, S. (1990-11)
    Archives Scientifiques, Centre de Recherches Oceanographiques, Abidjan
    Along the Ivorian seaboard we have seven (7) stations where sea water temperature is measured every morning between 7:30 and 8:00.The hydrologic station of Vridi located at point A (5°05N, 4°05W) is generally exploited twice a week.In this report we are going to deal with data collected in 1984 and 1985. The irregularity of the dynamic height at point A enables us to identify water masses that go over the continental plateau.
