3 Recruitment collapse - North Sea 2.1% - Elsewhere Europe 10.1% EIFAAC/ICES/GFCM WGEEL, 2018 Glass eel recruitment in % of the mean of the years 1960 to 1979 (46 time series) 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 3
4 Measures against the Decline European Council Regulation for the recovery of the eel stock (2007) Reduction of effort or catches by at least 50% in coastal waters Eel Management Plans on river basin level -» escapement of 40% of the silver eel biomass relative to B 0, the estimate without anthropogenic influences 60% of eels <12 cm reserved for restocking 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 4
5 Measures against the Decline Trade Restrictions Since 2009: European eel listed under CITES Appendix II (species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction, but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled); together with Polar bear, Asian cobras, Since 2010: Import and export ban at EU external borders 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 5
6 Current map of Eel Management Units (EMUs) EIFAAC/ICES/GFCM WGEEL, /02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 6
7 Advice of the International Council of the Exploration of the Sea (ICES, 2018) Precautionary Approach - All anthropogenic impacts (fisheries at all stages, hydropower, pollution) decreasing silver eel escapement be reduced to zero - Assess the net benefit of stocking (in terms of silver eel escapement) prior to any stocking activities ICES, November /02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 7

13 The European Glass Eel Market 193 mln. glass eels caught annually (compared to 6.1 mln. yellow and silver eels ( ) Stocking Aquaculture Unknown Fate EIFAAC/ICES, /02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 13
14 Eel Stocking as a Measure for Stock Recovery? 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 14
15 Management Problems - Total landings and effort data incomplete (high level of IUU fishing) - Inconsistencies in reporting and assessment by, and between, countries - EC Regulation never evaluated for its conformity with the precautionary approach - Progress Reports of the EU Member States 2015 and 2018 not yet postevaluated - Ongoing scientific debate of the value of eel stocking as a management tool for stock recovery - Lack of information (turbine mortality, habitat loss effects, contaminants, climate change effect, illegal fishery and trade, economic data ) 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 15

34 Very complex management MANAGERS REGULATIONS STAKEHOLDERS
35 We need to improve coordination and strengthen cooperation! 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Estibaliz Díaz 35
36 Economic analysis of eel fisheries and management first assessments and challenges Dr. Ralf Döring Thuenen Institute of Sea Fisheries Bremerhaven, Germany 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 36
37 Introduction and Background Environmental, social and economic impact assessment (IA) is a standard instrument to inform decision makers for every new of revised regulation There was no impact assessment for eel regulation(s) so far In this report we have collected available data for four countries and analyse impacts of management measures as far as possible 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 37
38 Introduction and Background Two main problems for IAs regarding eel fisheries and management: No information on feedback between management measures and stock development => gains of restricted fishing/reduced mortality in installations not known Very limited and heterogenous economic data for small scale coastal fisheries and freshwater fisheries Todays presentation includes results of the limited first assessment and challenges for IAs 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 38
39 Assessments of economic impacts some general remarks Problem: Due to the unknown feedback between measures and stock development we could not assess mid- to long-term gains or losses For the report we have identified available data and what data would be needed especially cost data is lacking In the report available data was used to partly assess impacts of measures for installations and the loss of revenues in fisheries Analysis of adaptation strategies requires substantial effort for interviews/focus groups Comprehensive IA would help to assess cost-effective way to achieve objective(s) 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 39
40 Assessments of economic impacts fisheries scenarios Remark: Scenarios not based on biological information and in a way extreme cases to detect consequences of measures Scenario 1: Total closure of yellow and silver eel fisheries, while a limited glass eel fishery remains open to supply aquaculture and processing facilities. Scenario 2: Total closure of the glass eel fishery and (as a consequence) also cessation of restocking activities. Scenario 3: Total closure of eel fisheries for 5 years and compensation of fishers. Scenario 4: Closure of recreational fisheries 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 40
41 Assessments of economic impacts installations scenarios Scenario 5: Part-time closure during migration period Scenario 6: Installation of fish ladders and bypasses Scenario 7: Trap and Truck 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 41
42 Assessments of economic impacts Example fisheries scenario Economic data requirements for IA for total closures: Necessary data for assessment Availability for Germany Availability for Spain Marine and Freshwater Fisheries Catches/official landings EU/specific countries Earnings data Cost data Employment ICES WGEEL report Available with average prices for eel landings Not available or only in very few cases Limited availability (estimations from number of licenses possible) ICES WGEEL report Available with own estimation of average prices and in general terms, not by individual fisher. Only data that were obtained in a survey done in this project. Only for one region. No public statistics. Can be estimated from the licenses. It is not a FTE. Glass eel fishery Catches/official and unofficial landings n.a. ICES WGEEL report official landings. Unofficial landings are not available. Earnings data n.a. Available if average prices are calculated. Cost data n.a. No official data. There are some data from the survey done in this project. Employment n.a. Can be estimated from the licenses. Not data of FTE. Loss of revenues for eel fisheries in Europe about 50 mln. assuming an average price of 10 /kg (ICES landings data) 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 42
43 EUR (mln) Assessments of economic impacts Example part-time closure of installations More data available for installations example for France: ,4 633,7 507,0 443,6 380,2 316,9 253,5 190,1 126,7 7,7 6,9 6,1 5,4 4,6 3,8 3,1 2,3 1,5 19,8 17,8 15,8 13,8 11,9 9,9 7,9 4,0 5, Weeks TWh Estimated range of costs for bypasses up- and downstream 1,052 to 3,110 million Revenue Profit Power generation Closure of turbines during migration (yearly) 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 43
44 Assessments of economic impacts Example for indirect effects of total closure of eel fishery Aquaculture Eel aquaculture totally dependent on glass eel fishery Closure of glass eel fishery would basically shut down all specialised farms or at least increase costs substantially Revenues in 2017 were 37 mln. in the EU 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 44
45 Challenges for economic impact assessments of eel management measures Phase 1: Definition of objectives and specification of options Scoping phase with strong stakeholder involvement Phase 2: Economic data collection esp. small scale fisheries (marine/fresh water) Phase 3: Analysis with likely economic impacts => feedback with stakeholders Phase 4: Presentation of the results Time needed: Approximately 18 Months 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 45
46 Conclusions and Outlook In this study we have identified what data is available and would be needed for an impact assessment With available data limited assessment of the scenario of total closure of fishery and installations scenarios Report discusses IA methodology and lists data collection requirements especially for fisheries In France, for example, installing upstream and downstream migration equipment could be cost-effective after two to five years 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 46
47 Conclusions and Outlook Regional assessment would allow to identify the most impacting dams for equipment with bypasses Strong stakeholder involvement necessary for e.g. discussion of measures and assessment of impacts => Comprehensive IA may help to identify cost-effective way to achieve objective(s) (measures for fisheries and installations) 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Ralf Döring 47
48 Conclusions and Ways Forward Prof. Dr. Reinhold Hanel Thuenen Institute of Fisheries Ecology Bremerhaven, Germany 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 48
49 Conclusions Implementation of management actions Coordination among different management levels Proper assessment of the effectiveness of management actions Scientific guidance, proper monitoring and ex-post-evaluation of mitigation measures. 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 49
50 Conclusions Impact of industrial river installations Proper assessment of eel mortality at hydropower plants according to the individual characteristics of installations. Assessment of the efficiency of mitigation measures at barriers. 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 50
51 Stocking Conclusions Critical evaluation of the value of stocking as a management action Stocking only where survival to silver eel escapement is high. Bypasses and trap-and-transport are beneficial, but should not justify the continuation of eel stocking programmes upstream. 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 51
52 Conclusions Economic data from fisheries Collection of economic data for companies involved in eel fisheries Economic impact assessment of all management actions (incl. fisheries, aquaculture, fish processing and trading companies). However, a cost-benefit analysis is not possible because impacts of management actions on the stock level are unknown. 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 52
53 Illegal fisheries Conclusions Implementation of an international traceability system for glass eels to follow the fate of catches. Improvement of the control of illegal eel fisheries by regional and national enforcement agencies. Promotion of coordinated actions between the Member States enforcement agencies. 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 53
54 Ways Forward Mortality Reduction of Eels in ALL Life Stages! Revision of the EU Eel Regulation - mortality target instead of the current 40% regional level escapement targets River continuity restoration (according to WFD) Reduction of fisheries related mortality (commercial and recreational fisheries) Cessation of stocking upstream of hydropower plants Evaluation of stocking as an effective management action 19/02/2019 PECH Workshop Eel Management Reinhold Hanel 54
