toward Europe. At the continental shelf, larvae metamorphose into glass eels and then …

Anguillid eels grow in freshwater but spawn in the open ocean. The cues that guide eels
over long distances to the spawning area are unknown. The Earth's magnetic field can …

Links between the lunar cycle and the life cycle (migration patterns, locomotor activity,
pulses in recruitment) of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) are well documented. In this …

The migration pattern of silver eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) in the Baltic is well documented from
many tagging experiments. This particular investigation differed from previous taggings in …

Eighteen female European eels (4 yellow-and 14 silver-phase) captured in fresh waters and
