EU Eel regulations - Purchase of Acoustic Receivers

EU Eel regulations (EC Council Regulation 1100/2007) require all member states to assess and facilitate escapement of silver eel to the spawning population (out of river catchments into estuaries) of at least 40% of the potential biomass produced under conditions with no anthropogenic disturbance due to fishing, water quality or barriers to migration. Screening regulations require appropriate fish screening technologies on all intakes capable of abstracting at least 20 m3 per day to prevent entrainment of upstream migrating elvers/eels and downstream migrating silver eels.
