Title: European eel’s health status in Mediterranean lagoons and rivers: development of non lethal methods of contamination monitoring and implementation of restauration proposals

Invited speakers: Raphael Lagarde and Emmanuelle Bachs (Perpignan University -Via Domitia; CEFREM and CRIOBE)

Venue: Sala d’Actes IDAEA-CSIC

The AnguillaMed project is funded by the POCTEFA European program. It aims at evaluating the health status of European eels (Anguilla anguilla) in lagoons and river of Catalunya (Spain) and Pyrénées-Orientales (France). AnguillaMed project also aims at testing the efficiency of non-lethal methods (mucus metabolome oxidative stress and microbiome, blood oxidative stress, molecular detection of Anguillicola crassus in gut washes…) to determine eels’ health status. Eventually, specific restauration recommendations for lagoons, rivers and eel population would be formulated to address specific anthropogenic sources of contamination.

AnguillaMed is a collaborative project involving two research units from Perpignan University -Via Domitia (CEFREM and CRIOBE) in France and three research institutes (University of Vic, IRTA and IDAEA-CSIC) in Spain.
