SUDOANG will provide managers with common tools and methods that help to conserve the European eel and its habitat in the SUDOE zone (Spain, France and Portugal)
Eel management in the SUDOE area is fragmented into several administrative units: basin, region and country. Furthermore, the commercial exploitation of this stock and its habitat (mainly for hydroelectric power use) affects many stakeholders whose interests need to be reconciled. For this reason, dialogue between them is fundamental, as we explain in the following video […]
For a correct assessment of eel in the Sudoe area, data collection and assessment methods need to be standardised and thus comparable. In SUDOANG, we have coordinated with the managers to collect all the scattered information about: Eel abundance Distribution and biometric characteristics of the eel The impact of ecological discontinuities on the eel In […]

At the 2019 Annual Meeting in Bordeaux, participants of the SUDOANG consortium analysed eel management in the different SUDOANG countries. The conclusions have been compiled in a document briefly describing how this is done and which authorities […]
