This project aims to monitor the migration patterns of different life stages of the critically endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla) in Güllük Lagoon, Muğla, Turkey. DNA barcoding will be done for future work. A workshop will be held to raise awareness among local fishermen about the eel's life cycle and conservation measures.
To achieve these objectives, we will collect eel specimens from different life stages, including glass eels, yellow eels, and silver eels. We will monitor the migration of elvers and glass eels and the spawning migration of silver eels using various sampling methods. To educate local fishermen, we will conduct small-scale meetings and provide information about the eel's life cycle and conservation measures to promote knowledge-based eel fishing practices.
This project will provide critical information about the European eel's migration patterns and population status and promote knowledge-based eel fishing practices among local fishermen. The findings of this project can inform conservation efforts and contribute to the sustainable management of eel populations.
Mfano wa mradi huu ni kufuatilia mifumo ya uhamiaji wa hatua tofauti za maisha ya Anguilla anguilla, katika hatari kubwa ya kutoweka, katika Gulluck Lagoon, Muğla, Uturuki. Barcode ya DNA yaweza kutumika kwa ajili ya kazi ya baadaye. Warsha itafanyika ili kuongeza ufahamu miongoni mwa wavuvi wa ndani kuhusu mzunguko wa maisha ya eel na hatua za uhifadhi. Ili kufikia malengo hayo, tutachukua sampuli za kunguru kutoka hatua tofauti za maisha, kutia ndani kunguru wa kioo, kunguru wa manjano, na kunguru wa fedha. Tutafuatilia uhamiaji wa elvers na eels kioo na uhamiaji wa kuzaana wa eels fedha kwa kutumia mbinu mbalimbali za sampuli. Kwa kuwafundisha wavuvi wa eneo hilo, tutafanya mikutano midogo na kutoa habari kuhusu mzunguko wa maisha ya mwerevu na hatua za uhifadhi ili kukuza mbinu za uvuvi wa mwerevu kulingana na maarifa. Mradi huu utatoa habari muhimu kuhusu mifumo ya uhamiaji wa Eel ya Ulaya na hali ya idadi na kukuza mazoea ya uvuvi wa Eel ya msingi wa maarifa kati ya wavuvi wa ndani. Matokeo ya mradi huu yanaweza kuelimisha juhudi za uhifadhi na kuchangia usimamizi endelevu wa idadi ya eel.
