It should also be noted that the price to consumers can be affected by these two types of sales channel and generally, the price of products to consumers is high for the long channel. Figure 19 Sales circuit for fishing products 4.2.5 Management control and monitoring To control and monitor the management method of these fishery resources within the Loky-Manambato MPA, it is important to set up the local Fisheries Monitoring Center (CSP). Their residence must be accessible to sea and land transport so that all fishermen can go there not only by sea but also by land. Within CSP is the fishing brigade to ensure security by avoiding clandestine exploitation of resources by revising regulatory texts relating to these resources. In summary of the overall study, a conclusion is drawn in the following last section. 5 Conclusions Surrounded by the sea, Madagascar has a significant number of coastal communities which depend on the fishing sector to meet the food needs of their populations and a source of income. This is also the case for the rural municipality of Ampisikinana and the fokontany of Antsampilay. Thus, the fishing sector plays an important role for the economy of fishermen in the coastal villages within the Loky-Manambato MPA. Because it provides considerable foreign exchange earnings for their lives. But the current production trend is towards a decrease in terms of quantity and quality of fishing products, in the case of fish, cephalopods, crabs, shrimps, lobsters, etc. The sea is still free access for all Malagasy citizens, so everyone can go fishing. The lack of suitable means to go fishing a little further from the coast (motorized canoe equipped with refrigeration) and especially equipment that does not destroy natural habitats are the problems raised by the fishermen. The latter fish and exploit the shallower zone and within a small radius. Indeed, signs of overexploitation of fishing products have been noted. However, for the development of the sector to be sustainable and rational, it is essential to stop the clandestine exploitation of fishery resources by revising the regulatory texts relating to these resources, namely: the revision of the minimum catch size, the setting of periods closures for laying. In addition, stock assessment studies must be carried out during a certain fishing closure period accompanied by awareness raising among fishermen for sustainable management.
