The OPP43 or Organization of Fisheries Producers ANACEF (National Association of Cephalopod Fishing Freezer Vessel Owners) was established in 1983 and has its headquarters in Las Palmas, the most important port in the Central Atlantic. It was established with the aim of integrating and defending the interests of national shipowners oriented to fishing in West African fishing grounds.
This fleet currently operates in the waters of Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry and the waters of the South Atlantic under the protection of sustainable fishing agreements between third countries and the EU or also thanks to private agreements.
The association's boats initially captured cephalopod species such as octopus or squid, but with the passage of time and the changes in fishing agreements, they have evolved in terms of catches towards pelagic and demersal species such as horse mackerel and toothfish.
