Abstract

Belgium must report triennially under the European Eel Regulation on the effective migration of silver eels from the eel management units of the Meuse and Scheldt rivers. This is the reporting for 2021. Flanders chose to quantify silver eel migration based on model calculations. In the absence of sufficient data, there are serious concerns about the substantiation of the final result.
The current calculated escapement rates of silver eel are 10.1% for the EMU (Eel Management Unit) Scheldt and 4.44% for the EMU Meuse. Again, the targets of the EU Eel Regulation (40%) are not met. The hoped-for positive effects of recovery measures are not clearly visible in the production figures.
