Development of an Arduino Based Fish Counter Prototype for European Eel (Anguilla anguilla L.)

European eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) has a great dispersion from Sargasso Sea to across the Europe and North Africa. Their population have decreased dramatically over the years and listed in IUCN as critically endangered. Stock estimation is one of the important issues in order to sustainable manage...
