Hygiene and quality for the artisanal fisheries sector in Mauritania
Mauritania’s highly favorable hydro-climatic conditions mean that its coasts are reputed to be among the world’s richest in fish, with an exploitable potential of 1,830,140 tons of all species, including 1,383,000 tons of small pelagic resources (GT IMROP 2019). This significant fisheries resource has made the fishing sector a strategic pole for the country’s economic growth, development, and poverty reduction, with sustained growth in added value in recent years. However, the sector’s contribution to national consumption remains limited, given its potential and the needs of Mauritania’s food-insecure population.
