En Côte d’Ivoire, la langouste fait partir des crustacés présents dans les captures de la pêche maritime  artisanale. Cependant, aucune donnée scientifique n’est disponible quant aux acteurs de la pêche de cette protéine. Ainsi, la présente étude a pour objectif de caractériser les acteurs de la pêche à la langouste verte Panulirus regius (De Brito Capello, 1864) pratiquée au niveau de la Zone Economique Exclusive de la Côte d’Ivoire. L’étude a nécessité une enquête le long du littoral sur un effectif de 60 pêcheurs de langouste. Les résultats ont montré que la pêche langoustière est pratiquée essentiellement par les Ivoiriens et les Ghanéens. De plus, la tranche d’âge dominante chez ces pêcheurs est comprise entre 30 et 45 ans chez les Ivoiriens et Ghanéensavec des proportions de 20% et 25%, respectivement. Au niveau de la quantité de la langouste verte pêchée, la grande saison froide a enregistré la plus grande quantité de langoustes capturées.   English title: Fishing typology of the green lobster Panulirus regius, De Brito Capello, 1864 along the coast of Côte d’Ivoire (West Africa) In the Côte d’Ivoire, lobster is part of the crustaceans present in the catches of artisanal maritime fishing. However, no scientific data is available on the actors of the fishery of this protein. Thus, the objective of this study is to characterize the actors of the green lobster Panulirus regius (De Brito Capello, 1864) fishery practised in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Côte d’Ivoire. The study required a survey along the coastline of 60 lobster fishermen. The results showed that green lobster fishing is mainly practised by citizens of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana. Fishermen who practised this activity were aged between 30 and 45 years old with percentages of 20% and 25% for citizens of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, respectively. In terms of the quantity lobster captured, the largest quantity was recorded on the great cold season.

This study aimed to determine the diet and feeding habits of this species from the eastern coast of Côte d'Ivoire. The specimens were sampled from commercial catches between September 2019 and August 2020. The diet analysis has concerned the stomach of 64 males and 96 females sampled in cold seasons and 72 males and 99 females during the warm seasons. Of the total number of examined stomachs (331), 272 were empty (Coefficient of vacuity: Cv = 82%). This food index (Cv) was higher in male individuals (86.03%) than in female specimens (79.49%). The diet this species consisted mainly of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and detritus (DE). Based on the composition of its diet, the palinurid spiny lobster, P. regius could be considered to be an omnivorous species with a preference for animal materials and showed a specialist feeding strategy.
