Recruitment of #eel is still at very low level. However, our recent paper suggests certain regional disparities within this overall decline. Congrats #MBénézech authors.elsevier.com/c/1mCGYW5UJV...

Last week, @icesmarine.bsky.social WGEEL meeting took place in Rennes. Many #DIASPARAproject scientists there! Very interesting discussions and good occasion to disseminate our results. #DIASPARAproject provide tools to improve the work of those groups, to ultimately enhance the scientific advice.

Disseminating our work in #DIASPARA is critical for the uptake of our results in the management and assessement of eel and stocks. Slides can be found there: nextcloud.inrae.fr/s/Rka35w2P8S...

4/4 Above all, urgent action is needed to reduce human-caused mortality—echoing @icesmarine.bsky.social "zero catch" advice—plus long-term work on habitat & connectivity. Time to rethink eel conservation.

3/4 We propose:
✅ Coordinated governance (like the WFD’s Common Implementation Strategy)
✅ Comparable assessment methods
✅ Short-term mortality targets
✅ Adaptive, science-based management

2/4 We review the eel’s complex life cycle, panmictic nature & diverse threats. The takeaway: we need a more integrated, cross-border approach linking science, policy & management. @inrae-france.bsky.social

Despite 10+ years under the EU Eel Regulation, european eel shows no sign of recovery. Biomass remains critically low.
Our new paper in #InpAkta raises the new eel question: how can we ensure its long-term conservation?

The Water Framework Directive has shown that good scientific orchestration is critical if subsidiarity is to be effective. Based on this same principle of subsidiarity to the Member States, coordination is lacking and undermines the effectiveness of the Eel Regulation inpakta.eus/artikuluak/d...

@icesmarine.bsky.social has just issued is latest advice on the progress of European Eel Management Plan. About 15 years after the implementation of most EMPs, the species remains critically endangered and the trends in biomass or mortality are still alarming. More actions are needed.

A consistent description of river networks is critical for a holistic assessment of #salmon and #eel. #DIASPARA is creating a river network db over Europe and the Med that is interconnected with the different spatial units of those species: diaspara.bordeaux-aquitaine.inrae.fr/deliverables...

I found a weird thing with #Rstats on a macOS 13.1 arm64 with large numbers. Writing 1e30 or 1.0e30 gives a very large difference (not an epsilon), while it is not the case for 1e30 and 1.0e30. It this normal?
