Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) and illegal export in European eels from Europe to Asia threatens the species’ recovery and sustainable management. In collaboration with international partners from Science, Conservation and Industry, SEG monitors and analyses the glass eel trade market and collects evidences applying wildlife forensics (e.g. genetics, chemical fingerprinting). Results support authorities and enforcements in counteracting illegal fishing and trade activity.
