Descripción
The Eleventh Session of the Joint Working Group on Eels took place from 20 to 24 September 1999, in Silkeborg, Denmark. Forty-one participants attended the Session from 27 countries, including 21 European countries and Canada, USA, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand. Altogether, 55 contributions were presented. 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 escapem ent 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.
