Thirty‐two participants representing 12 nationsattended one or both of the meetings.Saline (i.e. salt or brackish) waters are important growth habitats for eels, but receivelittle attention in most assessments. To address this, SGAESAW was asked to reviewknowledge of saline‐fresh differences in ecological parameters and stock assessmentmethods, and recommend approaches that embrace salinity‐based differences inmanagement models.The approach taken at the meetings was to hear presentations on topics pertinent tothe SGAESAW mandate, to discuss reported findings, and to formulate recommendationsfor research and management.
