Heterogeneity of the European eel (A. anguilla) repartition observed by two sampling methods (traps and electric fishing) in a marsh of the French Atlantic coast (Marais breton)
European eel (Anguilla anguilla L. 1758) is becoming scarce in most of the inland waters. Monitoring programmes of its abundance are planned in numerous areas especially in the reclaimed marshes (230,000 ha) of the French Atlantic coast. Well situated with regard to glass-eels arrivals, they represe...

European eel (Anguilla anguilla L. 1758) is becoming scarce in most of the inland waters. Monitoring programmes of its abundance are planned in numerous areas especially in the reclaimed marshes (230,000 ha) of the French Atlantic coast. Well situated with regard to glass-eels arrivals, they represent about 20,000 km of narrow ditches (3-4 m) with variable characteristics (dredging, silting up). Between 1987 and 1998, 204 stations were sampled by electric fishing in the north of the Marais breton, in a freshwater marsh (3,000 ha) close to the sea. Moreover, 326 trapping operations were performed on the same area between 1994 and 1999. A first overview of data obtained by the two sampling methods confirms the significant presence of eel in this marsh, but highlights a high temporal and spatial variability of its distribution (individuals, size groups). Such observations will have to be taken into account in the future monitoring programmes (sampling by ditch category) and in the analysis of results (analysis by size groups).
