Abstract
In order to estimate the abundance and the distribution of the anchovy in the Northwest Mediterranean, a standardised series of acoustic eva luation cruises was carried out in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1995. Th e series showed that there was agreement between the biomass estimatio ns and the registered landings in the area. On the other hand, some ar eas were identified where the recruits were largely localised.
