Comments

Present year-round but is more abundant off Cape Blanc during the warm months. Exploited in Mauritania by the Canarian fishers who search for it in Banc d'Arguin and off south Cape Timiris. The decrease in its catch is probably due to the absence of vessels specialized for its capture (Ref. 5377). Also Ref. 168.
