TOLIara 17 Antananarivo Antananarivo, with its rich history and (Tananarive) picturesque qualities, is one of the most unique capitals in the world. Originally built like a fortress on a hilltop, it subsequently spread to the neighbouring knolls, stretched to the slopes and transformed the marshes below.

This quaint spa town is surrounded by volcanic mountains and has a typically cooler climate. The first spa establishment was built in 1917 and it soon became a vacation spot for people from all over the country, and even neighbouring islands, who wanted to experience the healing properties of its waters. Antsirabe, which can be toured from the seat of one of many rickshaws, offers the tranquillity of a small European provincial town while maintaining its typically Malagasy touch which it unveils in markets and traditional quarters. 20 regional Offices and their regions 2 • In its immediate surroundings is the of Sahatany is located at its foot, and is July until August, is the coldest place in nearly circular lake of Andraikiba which, considered a key spot for mineralogy.

  • 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.
