  • Repoblikan'ny Madagasikara
    IOTC-2018-WPDCS14-13 REPOBLIKAN’NY MADAGASIKARA FITIAVANA-TANINDRAZANA-FANDROSOANA ____________________________ MINISTERE DES RESSOURCES HALIEUTIQUES ET DE LA PECHE UNITE STATISTIQUE THONIERE D’ANTSIRANANA (USTA) 14TH WORKING PARTY ON DATA COLLECTION AND STATISTICS Victoria-Seychelles, 29th November to 1st December 2018 Gaillord JAONA Yacinthe RAZAFIMANDIMBY ABSTRACT In the framework to improve the fishery statistics in Madagascar, the Ministry of Fisheries, through the Unité Statistique Thonière d’Antsiranana, initiated in 2015 a monitoring system for small-scale and artisanal fisheries of pelagic fish in northern Madagascar with two pilot villages. Since 2016, Monitoring has been expanded in other villages where network of investigators have been established in the various potential fishing areas. At each catch landings, an investigator collects tuna catch data and other catches, and also performs sampling. The date of landing, the time at sea, fishing zone, the weight and total number of individuals landed are recorded; and measurements of tuna and tuna like species are conducted. According to the catch monitoring since the pilot phase in 2015, it can be seen that the tuna season in the northern waters of Madagascar is from June to October. In 2016, catches from small-scale fisheries in these two pilot villages reached 102 tons, including 59 tons of tuna and 43 tons of other catches. The tuna average catch is estimated at 5.3 tons per month. In 2017, total catches in the North of Madagascar reached 3 704 tons including 80 tons of tuna and 4 tons of swordfish from 192 692 landings. Indeed, tuna represents only 2% of total catch for these villages because small-scale and artisanal fishermen still face a challenge, which is the lack of appropriate equipment for catching tuna and tuna like species.

  • Le Cas De La Transition Coloniale Au Capital Dans Le Nor&Ouest Malgache
    ROLAND WAAST DÉVELOPPEMENT DES SOCIÉTÉS OCCIDENTALES MALGACHES AU XXe SlÈCiE Le cas de la transition coloniale au Capital dans le Nor&Ouest malgache Le développement de l’agriculture marchande et du salariat, aujourd’hui carac- téristique des campagnes malgaches, n’a rien de mystérieux mais de fatal non plus. Son explication réclame l’analyse de l’articulation, entre le Capital et les productions autochtones: c’est un processus historique, restructurant la société en plusieurs phases, et déterminé par les conditions de la colonisatiqn. Le terme « d’articulation » signifie en première’ligne que les productions, auto- chtones ne sont pas détruites, ,qu’ellec ne dohñent-même fias Prise’à %e. d&om@$ sition immédiate; elles’sont conservees dans le processus, quoique sous formetrans- formée, et restent capables .d’une « contre-pratique », dkformante, vis-à-vis du Capital sous ses .formes classiques. Notons ici que le cadre rG&onàl est particulièrement approprié à pareille analyse: il est à l’échelle des productions précapitalistes, au lieu même où leur liaison avec le Capital s’est concrètement développée et nouée; il permet de neutraliser les varian- tes introduites par les politiques différentielles du colonisateur à travers I’Ile, qui compliquent le tableau national. Du niveau régional, on peut certes revenir, selon les nécessités de I’analyse, à l’étude fine des relations parentales et villageoises, ou, à l’opposé, aux perspectives de l’histoire nationale et de l’économie internationale. Mais en centrant régionalement le champ d’investigations, on évite à la fois la myo- pie de l’anthropologie classique - manquant l’action de la métropole, de 1’Etat et des classes- et la presbytie de la sociologie « experte » en développement - méses- timant la cohérence des réactions paysannes aux injonctions administratives et aux sollicitations marchandes.
