The catadromous European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) undertakes a 6000-km spawning
migration from its freshwater habitats to the Sargasso Sea. In large Blazka swim tunnels of
127 l, the physiological effect of such a prolonged swimming performance on sexual
maturation in adult female eels was investigated. Two groups of eels were placed in swim
tunnels for 173 days, one group was able to swim at 0.5 body lengths/second (Swim group)
covering a distance of c. 5500-km over the experimental period, and one group kept in static …
