The #LIFEPREDATOR project was at the IV meeting of the Movimento Douro, held this past weekend in Lousada. The European-catfish has already invaded the entire section of the Douro river & lacks of a monitoring program. @MAREscience @cienciasulisboa @LIFEprogramme

This Saturday the #LIFEPREDATOR project donated 350kg of catfish to the #FestivalRaizesVivas. Several fish dishes were provided. Besides the typical fish soup & stew, a gigantic catfish paella with cuddle fish ink was the highlight! @MAREscience @cienciasulisboa @LIFEprogramme

The European-catfish & carp thrive in PT reservoirs. Under the #LIFEPREDATOR project, our Operative Team removed about 400 kg & 200kg of catfish and carp from a Natural Park, in only 2 days, using gillnets with large mesh (>90mm), with nearly zero bycatches. @LIFEprogramme

European perch #percafluviatilis is an invasive fish in PT with high impact iberian fish! Unfortunately, new populations were found. Our work with law enforcement and stakeholders is enriching. Support comes from @FundoAmbiental @ambiente_pt @MAREscience @cienciasulisboa
