ABSTRACT<br />

The creation of <strong>the</strong> ad hoc scientific Working Group between Morocco and Spain on<br />

Pagellus bogaraveo in <strong>the</strong> Gibraltar Strait Area was proposed by <strong>the</strong> GFCM<br />

Scientific Advisory Committee <strong>to</strong> FAO-CopeMed II <strong>to</strong> analyse <strong>the</strong> available<br />

information on <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck and fishery of Pagellus bogaraveo in this area.<br />

The currently available information on P. bogaraveo, both in terms of fishery<br />

statistics and of biological parameters, and <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck assessment methodologies<br />

presented by Morocco and Spain <strong>to</strong> regional fishery organizations and o<strong>the</strong>r relevant<br />

scientific committees were reviewed.<br />

Possible new methods for <strong>the</strong> evaluation of commercial fishery data and <strong>the</strong><br />

feasibility of joint management measures were discussed with <strong>the</strong> aim of defining a<br />

proposal on <strong>the</strong> data required <strong>to</strong> perform future assessments and <strong>to</strong> apply a<br />

methodology for <strong>the</strong> management of <strong>the</strong> P. bogaraveo fishery. A joint work plan<br />

between <strong>the</strong> Moroccan and Spanish research institutions (INRH and IEO) for <strong>the</strong><br />

Pagellus bogaraveo s<strong>to</strong>ck in <strong>the</strong> Strait of Gibraltar and <strong>the</strong> organization of a<br />

workshop in September 2010 <strong>to</strong> conduct a joint assessment on <strong>the</strong> P. bogaraveo<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ck in <strong>the</strong> Strait of Gibraltar was agreed by <strong>the</strong> working group.<br />
