Multi-objective assessment of conservation measures for the European eel (Anguilla anguilla): an application to the Camargue lagoons
The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) stock has declined since the early 1970s and is currently considered to be outside safe biological limits. The European Commission has proposed a regulation (COM 2005/472 final) to establish measures for the recovery of the stock, with the aim of achieving an escapement to the sea of 40% of the adult eel biomass (with respect to undisturbed conditions) from ...

A species of Gyrodactylus collected from 2 species of anguillid eels (Anguilla australis Richardson, 1841 and Anguilla reinhardtii Steindachner, 1867) from Australia is identified as Gyrodactylus anguillae Ergens, 1960. The morphology of sclerites of G. anguillae specimens from Australia is in accordance with previous descriptions of specimens collected from A. anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758) from Eu...
متن کاملThe fractal geometry of the European eel stock
The European eel Anguilla anguilla L. is found in most European waters. This widespread species is usually exploited by small-scale companies fishing in localized areas. This implies a contrast of scales. This study analysed data on recruitment, stock, and fisheries to determine how they vary geographically. Coherence between 17 data series on glass eel recruitment is analysed by multivariate t...
متن کاملComparison of swimming capacity and energetics of migratory European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and New Zealand short-finned eel (A. australis)
The spawning migration of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) can cover more than 6000 km, while that of the New Zealand short-finned eel (A. australis) is assumed to be approximately 3000 km. Since these species are expected to show adaptive traits to such an important lifetime event, we hypothesized differences in swimming capacity and energetics as a response to this adaptation. In an exper...
متن کاملFishery-Induced Selection for Slow Somatic Growth in European Eel
Both theoretical and experimental studies have shown that fishing mortality can induce adaptive responses in body growth rates of fishes in the opposite direction of natural selection. We compared body growth rates in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) from three Mediterranean stocks subject to different fishing pressure. Results are consistent with the hypotheses that i) fast-growing individuals...
