We assessed the effects of starvation, body size, and water temperature on the onset of
metamorphosis in leptocephali of Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica Temminck and Schlegel …

The ecology of leptocephali is poorly understood. We investigated their nighttime vertical
distributions and assemblage structure in the North Equatorial Current (NEC) region of the …

Anguilla japonica leptocephali are transported from their offshore spawning area to their
recruitment areas in East Asia, but their depth distributions, food sources and feeding are …
