The Working Group on Age Reading of European and American Eel (WKAREA) seeks to improve the accuracy and precision of age estimates across the range of the species based on standardized methods and criteria, in order to support stock assessment at local and global levels. The group conducted a collective reading of European eel otoliths extracted from eels sampled in six aquatic systems from the South West Europe area (SUDOE area), which had been poorly represented in previous workshops. In this report the group analyses the results of the intercalibration process, identifies causes of error and their consequences on precision and accuracy, and provides recommendations for future work. The aging performance of advanced and basic readers was poor, suggesting that the growth patterns rather than the reader experience are responsible for the low consistency among readers. The otoliths from the southern part of the eel range presented an overall growth pattern, that is completely different from what has been seen in otoliths from the northern area. The irregular pattern of annuli along with the presence of numerous supernumerary rings complicated the interpretation of the growth pattern in the otoliths used in the exchange.
