Continuing on the #EuropeanEel, we now hear from Sibusisiwe Moyo, using the very popular acoustic telemetry. Based in the chalk streams of southern England, Sibusisiwe's results showed #Eel movement seemed to be driven by the new moon and temperature. Barriers in the river were not an obstacle because of the river's high levels at the time, which appeared to mitigate those barriers #FSBI2025
Next in the session, we have Niamh Heatley, who is presenting her research on broad and narrow head #ecotypes of #EuropeanEel. There appears to be trophic polymorphism and a high specialisation to eating fish #FSBI2025
Light affects fish #ecology. Benjamin Bluck tells us how #ArtificialLight is impacting the #EuropeanEel. Light intensity does not seem to impact passage, and there is a general aversion to both low and high light intensity. When there is good flow, #eel are not generally affected by rapid changes in light #FSBI2025
What impact are #beavers having on fish? James Macarthur tells us! In Tayside, using #environmental DNA (#eDNA), he found that there was no effect of beavers on #AtlanticSalmon and #lamprey. Beavers also had a positive effect on #EuropeanEel. There was a negative effect of pike on Atlantic salmon #FSBI2025

RT by @EFCA_EU: The future of the #Europeaneel is currently at risk.
Based on the latest #GFCMResearch, Mediterranean countries are working together to reverse the situation.

Coordinated management plan aims to promote the recovery of the European eel population in the Mediterranean | General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) | Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Absolutely love filming the European eel, particularly of natures greatest migrations yet critically endangered and it has to survive the daily barage of pollution

Ancient mystery of European eel migration unraveled to help combat decline of critically endangered species

A team of researchers led by the Environment Agency have taken a major step forward in solving one of nature's most enduring mysteries—where do European Eels spawn and how do they get there?
