About

Natural England awarded a contract to the Institute of Fisheries Management for organising and delivering two species-specific symposiums, one on Smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) and the other on lampreys (Brook, River, and Sea Lamprey), to be held before April 2023, and producing a summary report.

The events aimed to bring researchers, regulators, and Defra ALBs together to derive a clear consensus on current ecological understanding in England, discuss how this understanding can be used by managers to improve the conservation status of English populations, and identify remaining evidence gaps hindering management and conservation measures.

The contract value was £15,000.
