Abstract

The European eel population is in decline. Urgent management actions are required. To monitor their effect, we developed a fast sampling method, applicable in shallow rivers and tributaries. We compared the Carle & Strub estimator from 35 double pass electric fishing samples with Point Abundance Sampling by Electrofishing or PASE (24 point samples on average by section) which we adapted for the eel. The correlation between both methods was highly significant (r(2) = 94 %, p
