In the last week, elvers have begun to return to our Norfolk rivers. Over the last 30 years, eel numbers have declined by 95% in part because of manmade barriers. Fish passes or the removal of weirs can help with the migration along the river.

Good news from the CDL MERI - spawning activities in Danube tributaries like the Traisen! #LifeTraisen #CDG @verbundag @via_donau #OEBF @BOKUvienna

Our stationary antenna in the Traisen already registers hundreds of fish swimming upstream from the Danube to spawn. Nase, whith their distinct spawning rash are the first to arrive followed by barbel. Open migration paths are essential for the survival of many fish species.

🗣️ Call for help! 🗣️ Has anybody got access to excellent photo(s) of people viewing a freshwater aquarium? There must be lots available but we can't find suitable ones online. Can the power of Twitter help us find one? #SciComm #photographers

Glass eels used to be working-class Londoners cheap lunch. Today, with a cost of €800 per kilogram, only the wealthy can afford to eat them. Great article by @nancyaverett @hakaimagazine showcasing @AMBERtools research @SwanseaUni #letitflow hakaimagazine.com/news/bring…
