TL;DR: The distributions of leptocephali from the two surveys and the patterns of ocean currents in the region suggest the possibility that the main spawning area of this species is located farther offshore.

TL;DR: Research on leptocephali in Tomini Bay and data on the downstream migration of tropical anguillids in the major tributary toTomini Bay indicate that A. celebesensis may have a distinct seasonal pattern of spawning possibly related to the regional monsoon cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed visible objects in the gut contents of 13 leptocephali of 11 species and 8 families of eels were observed using photo-graphs of daycaught larvae in two different types of marine habitats: the open ocean (North Equatorial Current) and a semi-enclosed deep-water bay (Tomini Bay of Sulawesi Island, Indonesia).

TL;DR: In consideration of the threatened status of this species, management for C. undulatus capture and trade nationally and internationally are discussed with recommendations for ensuring sufficient spawning biomass in exploited populations and for sustainable trade.

TL;DR: The smallest sizes and the greatest abundances were collected in the northern region of the study area near the most extensive areas of continental shelf along west Sumatra, suggesting that many garden eel leptocephali had been transported offshore by strong currents.
