INDICANG Knowledge of the catchments (Environment) Eel Population (Resource) Fishing Pressure (Exploitation) Project Contacts and Project Promotion Summary of Progress in 2004 Summary of Future Work
Knowledge of the catchments (Environment) Previous Knowledge and 139km of river Camel - 413km2 catchment and 108km of river. The main tributary is the Allen Fowey - 178km2 catchment and 35km of river. Slapton Ley and the River Gara The largest freshwater lake in South West England. It is recognised as a National Nature Reserve (NNR) wetland (73ha)
Knowledge of the catchments (Environment) Rate of River Flow in m/s Past data available Agency on all river catchments Many sites Data taken monthly Long data sets Environment Agency Gauging Station on the river Fowey Future work – collect and use relevant data from these large data sets.
Knowledge of the catchments (Environment) Water Quality Water quality data from the Environment Agency for sites on the Tamar and Camel (2000 – 2004) Water Quality parameters include: - Pesticides – Aldrin, Atrazine, Benzo-[A]-Pyrene, DDE, DDT, Dieldrin, Endosulphan, Endrin, PCBs
- Nutrients – Nitrate, Nitrite, Orthophosphate, Phosphate, Phosphorus, Potassium
- Other – BOD, Conductivity, pH, Temperature, Wind Direction
Future work – Collect data for the river Fowey and Slapton Ley, identify and use relevant data from these large data sets.
Knowledge of the catchments (Environment) Wetland Loss Currently obtaining permission to use wetland habitat maps created by English Nature Future work – Potential to identify wetland loss from the use of past and present aerial photographs.

Eel Population (Resource) Length Data Tamar Length data obtained from yellow eels* within the catchment 2002 – 2004 *Data obtained from the Environment Agency (2005) and Knights (Westminster University)
Eel Population (Resource) Length Data Fowey Length data obtained from yellow eels* within the catchment 1977 – 1987 Future work – Locate more data, collect and analyse data for the Camel and Slapton Ley *Data obtained from the Environment Agency (2005) and Knights (Westminster University)
Eel Population (Resource) Density Data Fowey Density data obtained for yellow eels* within the catchment 1977 – 1987 *Data obtained from the Environment Agency (2005) and Knights (Westminster University)
Eel Population (Resource) Density Data* Tamar Three densities estimate for three sites (1978) Future work – Locate more data, collect and analyse data for the Camel and Slapton Ley *Data obtained from the Environment Agency (2005)
Eel Population (Resource) Migration No data for elver and silver eels Collaboration with King’s College, London and the Field Studies Council to examine elver and silver eels at Slapton Ley Elver trap at Slapton Ley
Eel Population (Resource) Age Data Locating age data Collaboration with King’s College, London and the Environment Agency to gather age data for eels at Slapton Ley, Fowey and Tamar Eel Health Establishing links with the University of Exeter who have past data on eel parasites
Fishing Pressure (Exploitation) Professional Fishermen Sport Fishermen Location of Fishing Areas A number of local fishing groups and national fishing groups are currently being approached to determine numbers of fishermen and location of fishing areas. Fishing Statistics Characteristics of catches (past and present) Currently attempting to retrieve and compile this data
Project Contacts and Project Promotion Current Contacts Environment Agency CEFAS Kings College, London Field Studies Centre (Slapton Ley) Local fishing groups South West Rivers Association Association of Rivers Trust Project Promotion Press Release – WRT newsletter, local and national press Seminar Presentation
