TL;DR: Extrapolation of toxicological analysis (individual physiology) to the population level (spawning success) suggests that the quality of future spawners leaving freshwaters is one of the prime factors for the conservation of this threatened species.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used artificial neural network (ANN) techniques and ecological profiles to model the distribution of European eels (Anguilla anguilla L) in the Fremur basin (North-West France).

TL;DR: Anguillid glass eels were sampled between October 2000 and October 2001 in an estu- arine goby-fry traditional fishery of Reunion Island, Mascarene Islands, western Indian Ocean, and otolith readings and sampling dates showed that A. mossambica hatched about 2 mo earlier than A. marmorata, which should imply adjoining spawning grounds, whereas A. bicolor bicolors must spawn in a distinctive location.

TL;DR: A total of 4,172 freshwater eels have been collected by electrofishing in upper estuaries from Madagascar, Mascarene, Comoros and Seychelles, between October 2003 and February 2006, showing a decrease of global metabolism with time, classical in leptocephali.

TL;DR: Fitting the isolation-with-migration model to 16S rRNA sequence data led to reject the hypotheses of inherited ancestral polymor- phism and divergence with gene flow, but supported a recent secondary contact with unidirectional migration following a period of isolation.
