SLIME project:
- Described suitable models for the evaluation of the eel stock, quantifying recruitment and escapement and demonstrating compliance, or otherwise, with escapement limits and targets
- Applied test case datasets for different life stages and catchment/fishery types
- Formulated advice for a scientific framework based on the outcomes from the various models
