Partnering for Knowledge Exchange on Sustainable Food Systems
2018Also available in:
The FAO Information Office in Lisbon, Portugal, promotes visibility and strengthened relations between FAO and key partners, including the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) and its Member States. The Government of Portugal and FAO are now stepping up their collaboration through the upgrading of the Information Office to a Partnership and Liaison Office for Portugal and CPLP countries. The new Office will support the Executive Secretariat of the CPLP in promoting and expanding the Strategy of Food Security and Nutrition of the CPLP, while building capacity for technical staff from Member States, promoting the Mediterranean diet and developing a knowledge network on family farming and sustainable agriculture. -

In this section, the main outcomes from the report are summarized, a forward focus is proposed in the light of observed declines in many Anguillid stocks and the imple-mentation of the EU Regulation for the Re covery of the Eel Stock and the main rec-ommendations are presented by WGEEL. The Working Group in 2011, along with Study Group on International Post-Evaluation on Eels (SGIPEE), has focused on six main themes, updating the recruit-ment and stocking time-series, including a power analysis on the ability to detect a change in recruitment or silver eel output, a discussion on biological reference points and setting reference biomass and mortality limits, providing support for local popu-lation ass essments especially in describing anthropogenic mortalities, updating the EEQD and making preliminary assessments of spawner quality and making some observation on eel and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive. The objective of eel stock assessment is to quantify the biomass of silver eel escaping in order to assess compliance with the EU target of 40% of pristine biomass without anthropogenic mortality. Given that it will be impractical to directly assess silver eel biomass and mortality in m any rivers, yellow eel stock assessment will also be re-quired. In conjunction with SGIPEE and pilot projects to estimate potential and ac-tual escapement of silver eel (POSE), the Working Group has identified a number of areas where gaps in knowledge existed (i.e. silver eel assessment, yellow to silver transformation, quantification of habitat) and focused on these in order to provide support for local stock assessments. To fill the gap between implemented reductions in mortality and the subse quent changes in silver eel biomass, it is also recommended that a measure of lifetime anthropogenic mortality be determined.
