A research project aimed at the full-cycle captive breeding of eels was one of the winners of the first edition of the CCMAR-SPARC. This award is designed to empower early-career researchers and boost professional development. Currently, eel aquaculture relies on capturing juveniles in the wild rather than breeding them in a controlled environment. The project by researcher Leonor Ferrão, winner of the CCMAR award, aims to shorten the path toward closing the reproductive cycle.

Context & Explainers
Sustainability (sustentabilidade) means meeting present needs without reducing the ability of future generations to meet theirs, covering environmental, economic and social dimensions. For residents it affects local planning, jobs and services—look for municipal or company targets, timelines and measurable actions when assessing how sustainable a place or employer is.
