Welcome to the eeliad
Eeliad is a scientific research project that aims to resolve some of the mysteries of eel biology, and to use this information to help conserve European eel stocks. The project will integrate and take advantage of significant recent improvements in techniques such as animal tracking, genetics and advanced mathematical modelling. The techniques will be combined in a large-scale field programme that will run between 2008 and 2011 and will be linked to studies and observations undertaken in other research and monitoring projects in freshwater and brackish environments to enable a comprehensive understanding of the life-cycle of eels to be developed.
