Tracking aquatic animals for fisheries management in European waters
Özgül, Aytaç; Birnie‐Gauvin, Kim; Abecasis, David; Alós, Josep; Aarestrup, Kim; Reubens, Jan; Bolland, Jon; Lök, Altan; Edwards, Jena E.; Pengal, PolonaAcoustic telemetry (AT) has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring aquatic animals in both European inland and marine waters over the past two decades. The European Tracking Network (ETN) initiative has played a pivotal role in promoting collaboration among AT researchers in Europe and has led to a significant increase in the number of tagged and observed aquatic animals in transboundary European waters. Whi...
First direct evidence of adult European eels migrating to their breeding place ...
Wright, Rosalind M.; Piper, Adam T.; Aarestrup, Kim; Azevedo, José M. N.; Cowan, George; Don, Andy; Gollock, Matthew; Rodriguez Ramallo, SaraThe European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is critically endangered (according to the most recent IUCN assessment) and has suffered a 95% decline in recruitment since the 1980s, attributed in part to factors occurring during the marine phases of its life-cycle. As an adult, the European eel undertakes the longest spawning migration of all anguillid eels, a distance of 5000 to 10,000 km across the Atlantic Ocean to th...

Alós, Josep; Aarestrup, Kim; Abecasis, David; Afonso, Pedro; Alonso‐Fernandez, Alexandre; Aspillaga, Eneko; Barcelo‐Serra, Margarida; Bolland, JonathanThe ocean is a key component of the Earth's dynamics, providing a great variety of ecosystem services to humans. Yet, human activities are globally changing its structure and major components, including marine biodiversity. In this context, the United Nations has proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development to tackle the scientific challenges necessary for a sustainable use of the ocean by m...
A review of acoustic telemetry in Europe and the need for a regional aquatic te...
Abecasis, David; Steckenreuter, Andre; Reubens, Jan; Aarestrup, Kim; Alós, Josep; Badalamenti, Fabio; Bajona, Lenore; Boylan, Patrick; Deneudt, KlaasBackground Globally, there are a large and growing number of researchers using biotelemetry as a tool to study aquatic animals. In Europe, this community lacks a formal network structure. The aim of this study is to review the use of acoustic telemetry in Europe and document the contribution of cross-boundary studies and inter-research group collaborations. Based on this, we explore the potential benefits and c...
