Report on the eel stock and fishery in Belgium 2013/2014

This report is written in preparation of the EIFAAC/ICES Working Group on Eel meet-ing at Copenhagen (4–10 September 2013). Extensive information on the eel stock and fishery in Belgium has been presented in the previous Belgian country reports (i.e. Belpaire et al., 2006; 2007; 2008; 2009; 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013), in the Belgian Eel Man-agement Plan (EMP), in the first report submitted in line with Article 9 of the eel Reg-ulation 1100/2007 (Vlietinck et al., 2012). This report should thus be read in conjunction with those documents.
