The objective of this article is to understand the current situation of artisanal fishing in the Moroccan Mediterranean (Belyounch, Fnideq, Martil and Kaa asras), and the components that characterize it (techniques, target species, boats, seamen, etc.). by analyzing the data collected from a survey conducted in these sites. The study is carried out through surveys between April 2014 and June 2014. The artisanal fishing sector in the selected sites could be characterized by different components. Thus, we can note the following characteristics: Presence of about 308 active boats; and direct employment offers to almost 1160 fishermen. Twelve gears are used in all sites. They are divided into three major groups: traps, nets and hook-and-line gear, in addition to dragging. The fishermen practice 12 techniques, with 2 to 3 methods per boat. The fish species most caught by fishermen are: (besugue, bug, sea bream, dorado); cephalopods (octopus, squid, cuttlefish); clupeidae (Sardine, Allache); carangidae (horse mackerel) and the smooth clam.
Author Keywords: gear, boats, fishermen, species.

Abstract: (french)
L’objectif de cet article est d’appréhender la situation actuelle de la pêche artisanale en Méditerranée marocaine (Belyounch, Fnideq, Martil et Kaa asras), et les composantes qui la caractérisent (techniques, espèces cibles, barques, marins, etc.) moyennant l’analyse des données collectées à partir d’une enquête effectuée dans ces sites. L’étude est réalisée à travers des enquêtes entre Avril 2014 et juin 2014. Le secteur de la pêche artisanale dans les sites choisis a pu être caractérisé par différentes composantes. Ainsi, on peut noter les caractéristiques suivantes : Présence d’environ 308 barques actives ; et offre d’emploi direct à presque 1160 marins pêcheurs. Douze engins sont utilisés dans tous les sites. Ils sont divisés en trois grands groupes : les pièges, les filets et les engins à hameçons, en plus de la drague. Les pêcheurs pratiquent 12 techniques, à raison de 2 à 3 méthodes par barque. Les espèces de poissons les plus capturées par les pêcheurs sont : (besugue, bogue, sars, dorades) ; les céphalopodes (le poulpe, le calmar, la seiche) ; les clupeidaes (Sardine, Allache) ; les carangidaes (chinchard) et le vernis.
Author Keywords: engins, barques, marins pêcheurs, espèces.
