With broad distributions, diadromous fishes can be exposed to multiple threats at different
stages of development. For the primarily catadromous eels of the family Anguillidae, there is …

Advances in telemetry technologies have provided new opportunities to reveal the often-
cryptic spatial ecology of anguillid eels. Herein we review 105 studies published between …

The success of European efforts towards the recovery of the European eel (Anguilla
anguilla) population will rely on accurate assessments of local stock status for the …

This study aims to characterize and compare the feeding ecology of the European eels
(Anguilla anguilla L.) during the continental phase (ie yellow and silver) along a salinity …

The aim of this review is to present an overview of the sex differentiation and sex
determination processes in eels in relation to the urgent need to provide scientific …

Anguillid eels were once considered to be the classic example of catadromy. However,
alternative life cycles have been reported, including skipping the freshwater phase and …

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 …

Abstract The European eel Anguilla anguilla is thought to be in a multi-decadal decline
across its range. Although its northern Atlantic sub-populations are well-studied, little is …

Migration is an important ecological trait that allows animals to exploit resources in different
habitats, obtaining extra energy for growth and reproduction. The phenology (or timing) of …

Brackish habitats are considered important for the facultatively catadromous European eel,
but knowledge of eel habitat use strategies and the consequences on their condition …
