2003 Country: Sweden Authors: Håkan Wickström1 and Håkan Westerberg2 Author address: 1National Board of Fisheries, Institute of Freshwater Research, SE-178 93 DROTTNINGHOLM, Sweden, [email protected] 2National Board of Fisheries, Box 423, SE-401 26 GÖTEBORG, Sweden, [email protected] Reporting date and last reported year: September 2003, most data through 2002 1.1 Data 1.1.1 Trend in recruitment 1.1.1.1 Monitoring methodology, life stage, gear type The amount (kg and sometimes numbers) of young eels (0+ and older) ascending several rivers along the Swedish coast (Rivers Göta Älv, Viskan, Lagan, Mörrumsån, Motala Ström and Dalälven). Viskan is the only river where “glass eels” are totally dominating. In the remaining rivers there is a mix of age classes, from 0+, 1+, 2+ and 3+ up to about 10+ in age. An additional recruitment series on glass eels comes from an experimental trawl fishery in the intake channel for cooling water at the Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant. The Institute of Coastal Research within the Swedish National Board of Fisheries is since a number of years analysing the age and relative year-class strength of the recruits from Rivers Mörrumsån and Motala Ström. 50 1.1.1.2 Recruitment monitoring results Recruitment data series from Sweden (all in kg, 2003 may be incomplete) 193 3879. 106.5 N/A 8 0 Yea Göta Dalälve Motal Viska Laga Mörrumså Rönne Kävlingeå 193 4775. 36.0 N/A r Älv n a n n n å n 9 0 Ström 194 1894. 684.0 N/A 190 530.0 0 0 0 194 2846. 321.0 N/A 190 5100. 1 0 1 0 194 427.0 14.0 454.0 N/A 190 340.0 2 2 194 1848. 283.0 1248.
