这篇文章表明，尽管外国渔船队（包括欧盟渔船队）的渔获量增加，但许多拥有这些渔船队的西非国家的经济增长和海洋资源的社会效益并没有得到满足。对1960年至1999年西非渔获量、市场价值、出口、进口、获取和国内供应变化的元分析表明，远洋船队的扩张不仅对海洋资源及其生态系统的状况，而且对西非人民的经济和社会状况产生了影响。最后，就外国渔船队的适当管理备选方案以及西非区域渔业机构和政府可以考虑的关键举措提出了建议。
This article shows that despite increasing catches by foreign fishing fleets (including those from the EU), the economic growth and social benefits from marine resources have not been met for many western African countries that host these fleets. A meta-analysis of changes in catches, market values, exports, imports, access, and domestic supplies in western Africa since 1960 up to 1999 illustrates the impact of the expansion of distant-water fleets on not only the status of the marine resources and their ecosystems but also on the economic and social conditions of the people of western Africa. Finally, recommendations are made on appropriate management options for foreign fishing fleets and the key initiatives that could be considered by regional fish bodies and governments in western Africa.
