Stationary visual census of commercial fishes in Mayotte (2023)

Since its establishment in 2010, the Mayotte Marine Natural Park has been promoting fishing activities beyond the lagoon, specifically targeting pelagic species to alleviate fishing pressure on reef species. However, despite these efforts, catches of reef fish remain notably high. In 2020, reef carnivores (groupers, snappers…), constituted approximately 35% of the total catches. Ensuring the sustainability of reef fishing necessitates regular assessments of Mayotte's commercial reef fish populations.
