Journal ArticleDOI
The European eel ( Anguilla anguilla , Linnaeus), its Lifecycle, Evolution and Reproduction: A Literature Review
TL;DR: This study demonstrated for the first time that European eel are physiologically able of reaching the Sargasso Sea without feeding and observed and recorded group spawning behaviour has ever been observed andrecorded in eels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyunsaturated fatty acids in various macroalgal species from north Atlantic and tropical seas
Vincent van Ginneken,Johannes P. F. G. Helsper,Willem de Visser,Herman van Keulen,Willem A Brandenburg +4 more
TL;DR: Marine macroalgae form a good, durable and virtually inexhaustible source for polyunsaturated fatty acids with an (n-6) FA: ( n-3) FA ratio of about 1.0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eel migration to the Sargasso: remarkably high swimming efficiency and low energy costs
Vincent van Ginneken,E. Antonissen,Ulrike K. Müller,Ronald Booms,Ep H. Eding,Johan A.J. Verreth,Guido van den Thillart +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that eels swim 4–6 times more efficiently than non-eel-like fish, removing a central objection to Schmidt's theory by showing that their energy reserves are, in principle, sufficient for the migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swimming performance of silver eels is severely impaired by the swim-bladder parasite Anguillicola crassus
TL;DR: It is concluded that migrating silver eels with severely infected or damaged swim-bladders are unable to reach the spawning grounds and reduced swimming performance appears to be associated with Swim-bladder dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are dioxin-like contaminants responsible for the eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) drama?
TL;DR: This study is the first to show that current levels of dioxin-like contaminants are strong candidates because of their devastating effects on development and survival of eel embryos, and suggests that these contaminants contributed significantly to the current collapse in eel populations.
