Abstract

This report covers the welfare aspects of the capture operations and transport of the glass eels to the farm, as well as the different culture systems to which the various life stages of eels are then exposed. These systems are analysed in some detail and the various areas within eel husbandry where specific welfare risks exist have been defined and analysed in relation to the different life stages and production systems. The objective of the report is to define the systems used for culture of the European eel, and to highlight any areas where such systems may increase the likelihood of negative effects on the welfare of the fish
