Zusammenfassung:An assessment is made of bycatch and discards in the fisheries of the Southeast Altantic Region (Area 47) in order to provide a reference point and baseline for present and future work in this field. A description is given of the various areas: 1) the East Coast of South Africa (Natal); 2) the South African South Coast; 3) the South African West Coast; 4) Namibia; and, 5) Angola. The findings of the assessment suggest that both bycatch and discarding in the bottom trawl, prawn trawl and mid-water trawl fisheries in Area 47 is significant.
