    ABSTRACT
    A frequently occurring species with high market value in Algeria, the Norway lobster Nephrops norvegicus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Decapoda Nephropidae) has attracted the interest of many professional fishermen. Fishery for this species has been growing rapidly in recent years. In this work, we collected data on the eco-biology, production, and monitoring of fishing effort and calculated yields. Our main objective is to provide an introduction to the fishing activity of this crustacean decapod in western Algeria, to provide a database for further studies of the lobster stock, and to contribute to the improvement and development of lobster fishery in Algeria.
