Presentation of the thematic groups Eric FEUNTEUN University of La Rochelle
Role of the Scientific Committee • Ensure that the indicators are correctly setup and scientific objectives of INDICANG are met. • Glass eel recruitment (UPPA, ADERA, CEMAGREF) • Yellow eel stock indicators (CEMAGREF, CSP, Fish Pass) • Silver eel indicators (University of La Rochelle, MNCN) • Environment thematic group (IMA, CSP, EKOLUR) • Setup links between indicators in order to define synthetic indicators of the state of the stock • Setup links between catchments in order to provide a general view of the state of the stock. • Propose guidelines to setup or improve the indicators.
Role of the catchment “groups” • Implement indicators as defined and proposed by the scientific committee. • Provide an appraisal of the state of the stock and of the environment • Define restoration targets. Catchment STC Define a methodology to improve the knowledge on the state of the population. And of the environment Thematic groups
Working methodFrom biological to Environmental indicators Glass eels Yellow eels Silver eel • Stock assessment • Quantitative methods • Flux (nb or biomass per river and per year) • Production (kg per surface and per year) • Semi-quantitative • CPUE • Density • Presence • Quality of individuals • Contamination by pollutants • Contamination by parasites • Individual condition • Population dynamics • Mortality rates (%SPR) • Evaluation of anthropogenic mortality Environment Indicators
Working method Adapt to the context in each catchment • Characteristics • Size • Types of water bodies • Social context • Fishery • Scientific survey of fishery and habitat • Development • Physical obstructions • Chemical obstructions • Status of the habitat • Quality of the water • Chemical pollutants • Water usage Define appropriate set of indicators With a minimum baseline for upscaling Environment Indicators
Working method Appraise the state of the stock & Set targets • Based on historical records • Fishery • Spatial distribution • Based on intersystem comparison • Neighbouring river systems • Comparison with similar ecosystems LINK WITH THE CATCHMENT GROUPS Neutral Good Bad Interest of Modelling issues : from data poor to data rich systems Set reference points, and management targets...
