Full recording of the FishSec Webinar on Restocking of European Eel, held 26 April 2022 with presentations by six invited speakers. During this webinar, we looked at some regional aspects of eel restocking, and whether they are used as a conservation measure likely to improve recruitment of European eel. We also highlighted uncertainties and risks connected with eel restocking, related to migration, potential spread of pathogens and other biological effects of restocking.
