The Working Group on Eels consisted of experts from EIFAC, whose Secretariat is located in the Fisheries Department of the FAO, and ICES experts. The draft was prepared by the Working Group. This report has been divided into seven sections to cover the material reviewed and discussed, focussing on the European eel. Sections 1 and 2 examine the status of the stock and fisheries; Section 3 looks at the quality of spawners; Sections 4 and 5 explore methodology for recovering the stock based on spatial distribution and management considerations; Sections 6 and 7 study restocking as an option. The Working Group would like to acknowledge ICES for undertaking the editing and formatting of this publication.

The Working Group, after reviewing the available information on the status of the stock and fisheries of the European eel, supported the view that the population as a whole has declined in most of the distribution area, that the stock is outside safe biological limits and that current fisheries are not sustainable. Recruitment is at a historical low and most recent observations do not indicate recovery. Opportunities for protection and restoration of spawner escapement are fading. Earlier reports indicate that anthropogenic factors (e.g. exploitation, habitat loss, contamination and transfer of parasites and diseases) as well as natural processes (e.g. climate change, predation) may have contributed to the decline. Measures aimed at recovery of the stock are well known and may include control of exploitation, restocking of recruits and restoration of habitats (including access to and from). Recent research shows that the quality of the spawners escaping from the continent might be seriously impaired by pollution, diseases and parasites. Additionally, the quality of spawners varies with biological characteristics such as size and fat content. None of these quality parameters is currently included in the assessment of the status of the stock or in setting management targets. Implementation of basic field sampling programmes, i.a. within the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) and National Management Plans, and further analysis will be required, in order to include quality aspects in future management advice. The objective of recovery of the stock necessitates restoration of the spawning stock, for which the European Commission has proposed a target of 40% of the potential production under unfished, unpolluted and unobstructed conditions. Methodology for elaboration of this reference level is described, but actual implementation requires field data and analysis for each spatial management unit. Analysis of stock dynamics under different fisheries management regimes indicates that recovery times may vary from 20 up to 200 years, depending on the intensity of implemented fisheries restrictions. However, restrictions on fisheries alone will be insufficient, and management measures aimed at other anthropogenic impacts on habitat quality, quantity and accessibility will also be required. The continental population extends throughout Europe and northern Africa and fisheries are scattered over many large and small water bodies, both marine and freshwater. The overall objective will have to be achieved by implementation of protective measures at a regional scale, presumably at the level of River Basin Districts (RBDs as defined for the WFD). The compilation of information on the spatial distribution of the current eel fisheries in this report shows that almost all RBDs will be involved. Spatial differentiation in targets, controls and post-evaluation procedures might facilitate the implementation. Restocking has been practised by some countries for decades, generally to maintain fisheries rather than improve the stock or recruitment. There are concerns over the unknown risks of moving fish between rivers. Restocking may be beneficial to rebuilding the stock, but it is highly unlikely that the 40% objective will be met in all European river basins in the medium term by restocking alone. Only a combination of several measures can be expected to bring the stock out of its current critical state. The current glass eel catches are probably insufficient to restock inland waters, and any further decline in glass eel recruitment could result in total loss of the option to use restocking as a measure. Recommendations to protect the stock, and suggestions for a forward focus of the work of this group are presented. iv | EIFAC/ICES WGEEL Report 2006 FAO European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission; International Council for the Exploration of the Sea.

EIFAC/ICES WGEEL Report 2006 | v Executive summary This report summarises the presentations, discussions and recommendations of the 2006 session of the Joint EIFAC/ICES Working Group on Eels which took place in Rome (Italy) from 23 to 27 January 2006. In this section, the findings in this report are summarised, a forward focus for the Working Group is suggested, and main recommendations are presented. Summary of this report Review of the available information on the status of the stock and fisheries of the European eel supports the view that the population as a whole has declined in most of the distribution area, that the stock is outside safe biological limits and that current fisheries are not sustainable. Recruitment is at a historical minimum and most recent observations do not indicate recovery. The level observed since 1990 is below 20% of the level observed not more than three generations ago; the European eel therefore qualifies for the IUCN Red List of endangered species. Opportunities for protection and restoration of spawner escapement are fading (Section 2). Evidence has been given in earlier reports that anthropogenic factors (e.g. exploitation, habitat loss, contamination and transfer of parasites and diseases) as well as natural processes (e.g. climate change, predation) may have contributed to the decline. Measures aimed at recovery of the stock are well known and may include control of exploitation, restocking of recruits and restoration of habitats (including access to and from). Recent research reviewed in this report has indicated that the quality of the spawners escaping from the continent might be seriously impaired by pollution,

    The Barrow+Green-and-Silver 2017 m/y «Henrik Ibsen» on Irish Rivers and Canals: Part 4 – The Royal Canal + the Shannon Exact time for departure from Dublin towards the Royal depends on opening hours for Newcomen Bridge. Newly indicated departure to Spencer Dock is said to be XX. May the lifting of the railway bridge the XX.of May, see detailed plan. Anyway, for "Day XX": Breakfast in GC Dock, crew: local/unclear. After the go-ahead from WI (Waterways Ireland) we leave GC Dock via sea locks, cross the river Liffey and enter the Spencer Dock by sea locks, and under North Wall lifting bridges Spencer Dock (irish: Duga Spencer). The Dock area was originally part of the end of the Royal Canal, which remains connected to the River Liffey here. Spencer Dock includes part of North Wall between Guild Street, Upper Sheriff Street, New Wapping Street, North Wall Quay and Docklands railway station. In agreement with WI we pass by one North Wall Quay lifting bridge, Mayor Street Upper bridge, Sheriff Street Bridge (critical!), several high bridges, before we get to Newcomen railway bridge, popularly called “Effin” Bridge. This is a railway bridge which is very low and normally only open to boats once a month, so this must be booked early. We have ordered the XX.mai. We pass Croke Park Stadium which seats 80,000 spectators and the grim walls of Mountjoy Prison. The canal passes Glasnevin Cemetery at gate 6. - Glasnevin Cemetery is a hidden gem and well worth a visit. It serves today as Ireland's national-cemetery.

Both these volumes contained the Irish originals, as well as the translations from them, and both volumes were extremely valuable for their preservation of those originals, but suffered from the over ornate, and, indeed, often extremely artificial English verse into which they were translated.

Bericht, Dezember 2020 1. Übersicht über die Verbesserungsmaßnahmen Beim Schierlings-Wasserfenchel (Oenanthe conioides ) handelt es sich um eine priori- täre Art nach FFH-Richtlinie (Anhang I) sowie eine endemische Art, die nur an der Unterelbe vorkommt, da hier aufgrund der Tide im Süßwassermilieu entlang der Fluss- ufer mit ihren Süßwasserwatten geeignete Standortbedingungen vorhanden sind. Um seinen Bestand langfristig zu entwickeln, wurden Maßnahmen geplant und umge- setzt, die entlang des limnischen Abschnitts der Unterelbe zusätzliche Standorte schaffen. Mit Schreiben vom 5.7.2011 hat die Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg die Eu- ropäische Kommission darüber informiert, dass zu diesem Zweck folgende Maßnah- men geplant sind (vgl. Abb. 1-1): • Schaffung eines zweiseitig geöffneten Priels an der Spadenländer Spitze • Entwicklung eines Auenwald-Röhricht-Komplexes mit Schierlings-Wasserfenchel im Bereich Overhaken • Wiederherstellung des Schierlings-Wasserfenchel-Vorkommens im Alten Moorbur- ger Hafen Abb. 1-1: Lage der Verbesserungsmaßnahmen für den Schierlings-Wasserfenchel Über den Stand der Maßnahmen wurde in den vorherigen vier Berichten (2012, 2014, 2016 und 2018) ausführlich informiert.

  • Rapid Risk Assessment HPAIV H5 in Germany, Date 25.03.2021
    Rapid Risk Assessment HPAIV H5 in Germany In Germany, around 1,000 HPAIV H5 cases in wild birds and 133 outbreaks in poultry and captive birds have been detected since 30. October 2020. In addition, many European countries continue to report outbreaks of HPAIV subtype H5 in captive birds and wild birds. The risk of spread in waterfowl populations and disease introduction in poultry farms and bird populations (e.g. zoological insti- tutions) is considered high. Currently, there is a high risk of introduction of HPAIV subtype H5 through virus spread between poultry farms (secondary outbreaks). Utmost caution is indicated in (mobile) trade with live poultry. Biosecurity measures in poultry holdings should be reviewed and optimized where possible. Rapid Risk Assessment | FLI | Date 25.03.2021 Rapid Risk Assessment for the introduction and further spread of HPAIV H5 in Germany Background The risk assessment from 22.02.2021 concerned HPAIV H5 events in Germany and Europe. Updated parcels of information are highlighted in yellow and include data up until 23.03.2021. Situation in Germany Since 30 October 2020, HPAIV H5-infected wild birds have been identified predominantly in dead birds on almost a daily basis and subsequently reported via the German Animal Disease Notification System (Tierseuchennachrichtensystem, TSN; Fig. 1). Fourteen federal states are affected thus far (here in chron- ological order of occurrence of cases): Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, Brandenburg, Bremen, Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Berlin, Hesse, Baden-Würt- temberg, Thuringia and Rhineland-Palatinate (Fig. 2). The data indicate a supra-regional event that has spread geographically from northern Germany in a southerly direction (Fig.
