Abstrakt: The article presents a study that deals with the conservation of eel populations. It considers the limitation of upstream migration of glass eels as one of the factors reducing eel populations. It explores the migration of eels in their juvenile stage. It assesses options to improve eel passage at a tidal barrier complex at the mouth of the Yser River, Flanders, Belgium. It conducts support-vector machine-based analysis of lift nets. It samples glass eels to analyse their distribution over the study area.
