The Cape Boujdour and Cape Blanc upwelling areas are a favorable environment for the spawning of multiples pelagic fish species, due to their particular hydrological features, which provide a high productivity to this region. The study area is subdivided into three successful regions with a different hydrological characteristic. The first area (Boujdour – Dakhla) is known for the coastal upwelling of deep water in northern part of the Moroccan Atlantic Ocean. The second area in the middle (Dakhla-Cape Barbas) presents a vertical stratification. The filamentous drift of the waters and the resurgences toward offshore favor photosynthesis far from the coast and promotes high productivity. The presence of front between different water masses characterizes the third area between Cape Barbas and Cape Blanc in southern part of the Moroccan Atlantic coast.
