Senegal has a large coastline that faces the Atlantic Ocean and most developed fishing industnes in West Africa. The fishing industry supplies food for domestic consumption and is a signifIcant source of foreign exchange. Senegal's highly developed tuna fishery, one of West Africa's largest, is dominated by the commercial sector. The present study provides information about pole and line fishery. This work focused on data from Fisheries Protection and Surveillance Directorate (FPSD) reports of fishery observers on foreign-flagged tuna vessels from 2015 to 2019, representing more than 330 live bait fishing operations. Masters of pole-and-line tuna vessels or representatives of the Thiaroye shipowners and fishermen working on the sea concerned were investigated. The existence of a fleet consisting of pole-and-line tuna vessels of some 15 foreign and domestic vessels based in the port of Dakar targeted these species of tropical tuna. The bait fishery was carried out by the artisan fishermen of Thiaroye sur mer, authorized by the Maritime Fisheries Directorate (MFD), but without a formal procedure manual. These fishermen were very uneducated and did not have a professional organization that could defend their interests. The percentage of livebait needed to catch tuna varied from 8.7% in 2015 to 3.2% in 2019 for foreign vessels. Due to the lack of observers on Senegalese pole-and-line tuna vessels, there was a loss of information on these livebait fishing activities. The quality of the bait was a function of the intrinsic characteristics of the species, in particular its resilience to storage conditions in the tanks, its frenetic behaviour or not once rejected.
