No results found.The European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission/International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (EIFAC/ICES) Working Group on Eels met at ICES headquarters, from 28 to31 August 2001 to finish the work initiated at its 1999 meeting on defining biological reference points for European eel management use. The review of available information revealed that the European eel stock is in decline and that fisheries is outside safe biological limits. Anthropogenic factors (exploitation, habitat los s, increased predation, contamination and transfer of parasites and diseases) as well as natural processes (climate change) have contributed to the decline. Latest recruitment data (spring 2001) indicated a further deterioration of the status of the stock. As management at local level has failed to address the global decline of the stock, the implementation of an international stock recovery plan is of utmost urgency. The Working Group recommended that an international commission for the managem ent of the European eel stock be formed, to organize monitoring and research on eel stocks and fisheries, and to serve as a clearing house for regular exchange of information regarding landings and resource status. -

No results found.The Second Session of the Joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eel took place from 23 to 27 September 1996, in IJmuiden, the Netherlands. The Session was attended by 41 participants from 29 countries, including 23 European countries as well as Australia, Canada, China, New Zealand,Taiwan and USA. Altogether, 32 papers were presented and 7 posters exhibited. Presentations and discussions covered a wide range of research on the eel,with particular reference to recruitment, contamination, parasiti c infestation and fisheries and their effects on stock and yield. The downward trend in recruitment and yield in the whole distribution area of the species elicited a discussion on the need for supra-national management of the stock and the possible application of the precautionary principle. A discussion on oceanographical matters concluded that information on physical oceanography and on the ocean stages of the eel was insufficient to allow any conclusions to be drawn. Recommendations were made to restrict further expansion of fisheries and to maintain the supply of stocking material at its prevailing levels. In adddition, importation of exotic eels should be fully controlled to prevent the introduction of further parasites. Finally, it was recommended to maintain existing monitoring programmes and to supplement the anticipated Management Plan with a scheme for monitoring and research. -
