Based on the informal consultation on Japanese eel, Task Teams for International Eel Research Collaboration were organized, and Task Team 2, which focuses on tracking eel spawning migration using satellite pop-up tags, is led by Professor Hiroshi Hakoyama of the Institute of Freshwater Biology. The first meeting was held on February 17, 2023 via an online workshop with scientists from Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Fiji, with many presentations and lively discussions. It was confirmed that they will continue to collaborate on research and that the results of this workshop will be compiled into a report for the Eel Scientific Meeting scheduled for early next year.
