Résumé : The word macomère is widely used by women in the Caribbean to mean "my child's godmother"; "my best friend and close female confindante"; "my bridesmaid, or another female wedding member of a wedding party of which I was a bridesmaid"; "the godmother of the child to whom I am also godmother"; "the woman who, by virtue of the depth of her friendship, has rights and privileges over my child and is a surrogate mother." This name seems appropriate because it so clearly expresses the intimate relations which women in the Caribbean share, is so firmly gendered, and honors the importance of friendship in relation to the important rituals of marriage, birth, and (implied) death. Moreover, macomère is a French Creole word which, although related to the French language, has taken on a structure and meaning which is indigenous to the Caribbean. The word is spelled in this way, instead of in the clearly Creole manner (macumè, makumeh, macoomè, macomeh, and many other variants), so that the female connotations of the word are highlighted and those meanings which apply to males ("a womanish or gossipy man"; "a homosexual") are less obvious. In those islands where Krèol (linguistic term for the French patos) is the first language, the same term is used for both females and males with meaning determined by the context. In islands such as Trinidad, however, where English has overlain Krèol, the Creole (linguistic term for the English patois) has incorporated the redundant my macomè and macomè man, thus reinforcing both the perceptions of intimacy and the female quality of the term. Interestingly enough, Richard Allsopp in The Dictionary of Caribbean English Usage (Oxford University Press, 1996) has indicated the possibility that maku in Belize, with the meaning "midwife", is also derived from macomère. Hence, the word forces us to recall the continuities and correspondences in Caribbean languages and cultures, as well as the dynamic, creative, and transforming power of Creoles. In the purely English-speaking islands, the only comparable term is godmother (usually the mother's best friend). In the Hispanophone Caribbean, there is the similar comadre, although, as we would expect, some of the connotations are different. Join us in continuing to interrogate all the connotations of the meaning inherent in this culturally rich lexical item from the Caribbean Creoles.

Résumé : In order to provide economic indicators for fisheries, analysis of contribution and economic dependencies of the Bay of Biscay fishing fleets to major commercial species catching in the ICES VIII area is conducted. 9 species are considered (regarding the importance of their landings in this area): Sole, Norway Lobster, Sea bass, Hake, Anglerfish, Anchovy, Sardine, Cuttlefish and Monkfish. The landings data are provided by the Harmonie database of the Fisheries Information System of Ifremer and the analysis per specie is done for the 2005 year on one side and over the period 2000-2005 on the other side. A stock slip is built for each species and presents : - Key figures on landings in the Bay of Biscay (total landings, average price, number of vessels concerned and share in the national landings) - Assessment of the concentration of landings - Assessment of the fleets' contribution to these total landings - Assessment of the fleets' economic dependence to the species based on the income share depending on this species.
Dans le cadre de l'élaboration des indicateurs économiques sur les pêcheries, une analyse de la contribution et de la dépendance des flottilles du Golfe de Gascogne aux espèces commerciales majeures capturées dans la zone CIEM VIII est présentée. Les 9 espèces principales retenues sont (par ordre décroissant d'importance dans les débarquements totaux en valeur dans la zone VIII en 2005) : la sole, la langoustine, le bar, le merlu, la baudroie, l'anchois , la sardine, la seiche et le calmar. L'analyse des débarquements par stock est menée à partir des données disponibles dans la base Harmonie du SIH de l'Ifremer à deux niveaux : en coupe instantanée (année 2005) a été choisie comme année de référence (sauf pour l'anchois - année de référence 2004 et en tendance de 2000 à 2005. Chaque fiche stock présente : - des chiffres clés sur la production de cette espèce dans le Golfe de Gascogne (débarquements totaux, prix moyen, nombre de navires impliqués, part dans les débarquements nationaux). - une analyse du niveau de concentration des débarquements - une analyse de la contribution par flottilles à ces débarquements par ordre décroissant des contributions au débarquement total en valeur de l'espèce - une analyse de la dépendance mesurée à partir de la contribution de l'espèce aux Chiffre d'affaires (ou débarquements totaux en valeur) de chaque flottille contributrice.
