Abstract | The general picture throughout Europe is of declining yields in eel fisheries. Recruitment of glass eel from the ocean remains at very low levels. Development of escapement targets has been explored; several options are available, but shortage of data limits their application at the current time. The potential effects of re-stocking glass eel are discussed. Coordination of monitoring and research are badly needed. It is proposed to place coordination of research with an international research management body, in which key management levels and eel fishery and culture industries participate. |
