11 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Eel fisheries in the basin - Launch of fisheries monitoring plan. 2001 - New regulation issued. 2003. Agreed with the fishermen. License and daily catches report - Decline in the stock: intuitively, no any historical data series. - More than a century of fishery activity and sale in glass eel although no regulation existed. Item Zero: explotation - No fishery of yellow and silver eel

12 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 A license per person & fishing basin. Catches report: fishing type, fishing gear,fishing time, catches,… Fishing season: October – March. Fishing gears: only sieve and hoe. Not allowed the catches sale. Not a proffesional fishery. License and daily catches report Item Zero: explotation

13 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Boat fishing Land fishing Glass eel fishing types in the Oria river basin Item Zero: explotation Sieve Wave Wall trawling Hoe Boat

14 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Regular sampling net in the Oria Basin: Automatic control stations Item Zero: available information Biotic Indexes Fish Comunity FQ

15 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Item Zero: available information Most important studies carried out in the Oria river basin Diputación Foral de Gipuzkoa Waterflow regime control Waste Dumping control Water quality control Fish populations management (Atlantic Salmon Reintroduction) River continuity, obstacles elimination Gobierno Vasco Hydrological Planning Waste Dumping control Water quality control, Framewok Directive Habitat description, Framewok Directive

16 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Catches report 2003/2004 Validation with samplings and data of distribution companies Lack of precision of data Underestimation of catches It is obligatory to deliver the catches report to obtain the new license. Apply it. Low response Data from 40,3% of fishermen SolutionsProblems First time we have data! Results glass eel

18 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Description of fisheries 2003/2004 - Catches/Fishing effort - Significant differences in CPUES among fishing gears (p=0,0003), higher in boat and sieve - Trawling Sieve Boat Wave Total 0,000 0,020 0,040 0,060 0,080 0,100 0,120 0,140 0,160 0,180 Oct.Nov.Dec.Jan.Feb.March CPUEs (kg/h) -Highest CPUEs in December but no significant differences among months in each modality Results glass eel

19 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Experimental samplings - With a motor boat, two fishermen and two sieves of 1.60 diameter (surface and depth) - Just three samplings because: - Temperature, salinity, turbidity, water current speed - In the mouth - Upstream - Samples given by the fishermen - Only when high entrance: change of strategy - started in December No validation Results glass eel

20 Séminaire Indicang 18 et 19 mai 2005 Experimental samplings - Trap: Installation of a gadget to keep clear the entrance Leafs obstruct the entrance  ????  To increase the ramp High flow variability:  Flooding and silting  Not enough water to reach the base of the sample. SolutionCause It has just worked properly in 25 % of the days (just one sample obtained): No validation this year Results glass eel

Andatza, S.P.Desem- bocadura, Leitzaran Andoain): - Litter stations: 3 passes -Low catchability, when passing two times population underestimated (sometimes even with three) - High catchability, passing three times better estimations than with two, tighter confidence limits Bigger stations: what method would fit better in these cases? Results yellow and silver eel
