SEAFDEC/IFRDMD successfully organised an in-house training workshop on Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) Analysis and Stock Assessment under the JAIF-funded project “Development of Stock Assessment Methods and Strengthening of Resources Management Measures for Tropical Anguillid Eel in Southeast Asia.” The workshop took place in Denpasar, Indonesia, from 27 to 31 August 2025, and served as a capacity-building platform to enhance technical expertise in analysing eel fisheries data collected from different pilot sites in the region.

This project is structured around two key analytical components: stock assessment and DNA analysis. While DNA analysis focuses on applying molecular tools to understand eel species diversity and distribution, the stock assessment component emphasises evaluating eel population abundance and sustainability.
