7 Regulation (EC) 11/27 BECAUSE THERE IS ONE POPULATION...OF EUROPEAN EEL THERE IS A COMMON GOAL SHARED BY ALL Member States... Objective of each EMP Reduce anthropogenic mortalities so as to permit with high probability the escapement to the sea of at least 4 % of the silver eel biomass relative to the best estimate of escapement that would have existed if no anthropogenic influences had impacted the stock. The Eel Management Plan shall be prepared with the purpose of achieving this objective in the long term. (Article 2, nº 4).

8 Regulation (EC) 11/27????????????

9 Portuguese EMP(s) 2 EMP( s) The Portuguese EMP (National implementation) Transboundary EMP for the international part of River Minho The Portuguese EMP was approved by the European Commission in April 211. Some measures have been implemented. Transboundary EMP Minho Delivered in June 211 Revised in November 211 Not approved yet

10 Portuguese EMP - Measures RESTRICTIONS ON FISHERY Closed season during silver eel migration Reduce number of fishing licences Report eel catches in freshwater areas INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE HABITAT Removing obstacles to migration Fitting eel and elver passage facilities to existing obstacles Stocking areas above dams and transport silver eels below dams SET ACTION PLAN AGAINST GLASS EEL POACHING COLLECT DATA Recruitment Natural and anthropogenic mortality Silver eel escapement

11 Portuguese EMP Our contribution FISHERY Fishing closure in marine jurisdiction (Oct-Dec) INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF AVAILABLE HABITAT A fish pass has been installed in a dam (3.5 million euros but...) SET ACTION PLAN AGAINST GLASS EEL POACHING Increase in fiscalization but NO plan COLLECT DATA NO funding to collect data (DCF and WFD too restrict and not useful for stock assessment)

12 Glass eel fishery

13 Glass eel fishery

14 Obstacles to migration Short term (5 years) Medium term (5-1 years) Long term (> 1 years) Free access A solution... but who is going to pay the bill?

15 Anguillicoloides crassus NO! Is there anything we can do? a) Epidemiology descriptors; Intact (SDI = ) Moderate damages (SDI = 1-3) Severe damages (SDI 4) b) Proportion of damages (%) Prevalence (%) Intensity (median & interquartile range) SDI (median & interquartile range)

16 Mortality by predation????? The Lusitanian toadfish (Halobatrachus didactylus) Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) The European otter (Lutra lutra) 7% (1) 5% (3) 14% (2) How can this information be used? Conservation conflicts with other species... Game birds? The Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) 25% (3) (1) Dias, 27; (2) Trigo, 1994; (3) Cerqueira, 25

17 SWOT Analysis Strengths No silver eel directed fishery; Low trace metal levels; Brackish water eels less parasitized by A. crassus; Glass eel fishery not permitted, except in the River Minho. S Weakenesses Illegal glass eel fishery: lost combat? No record of eel fishing from freshwater systems; Underreported catches. W Opportunities O Threats T Manage the stock on a scientific basis; Enforcing eel passes at migration barriers; Quantifying mortality by predators. Lack of budget to accomplish recovery measures related to habitat restoration; Lack of budget to collect data to assess the status of the stock.

18 Anthropogenic Impacts Sto André Lagoon Area - 15 ha Important eel fishery since the XVII century!!! Opening to the sea artificially managed (4 to 6 weeks) Classified as a Protected Area (Natural Reserve) in 2 Important nursery area for marine species
