TLDR
Evidence is discussed that indicates fishing mortality and continental climate change appear to have had lesser impacts and predictions for the future are made and multidisciplinary and integrated monitoring and research are recommended for managing eel stocks and fisheries.About:

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
Oceanic changes in the Sargasso Sea and declines in recruitment of the European eel
TL;DR: Friedland et al. as mentioned in this paper found a significant negative correlation between the North Atlantic Oscillation and longterm variations in catches of glass eel stages of the European eel Anguilla anguilla recorded by the fishery independent Den Oever recruitment index (DOI) in the Netherlands, lagged by one year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Panmixia in the European eel: a matter of time...
Johan Dannewitz,Gregory E. Maes,Leif Johansson,Håkan Wickström,Filip Volckaert,Torbjörn Järvi +5 more
TL;DR: Support is provided for the panmixia hypothesis and the importance of temporal replication when assessing population structure of marine fish species is emphasized, as genetic variation among temporal samples within sites clearly exceeded the geographical component.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluctuations in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) recruitment resulting from environmental changes in the Sargasso Sea
TL;DR: It is argued that sea warming in the eel spawning area since the early 1980s has modified marine production and eventually affected the survival rate of European eels at early life stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural hybrids in Atlantic eels (Anguilla anguilla, A. rostrata): evidence for successful reproduction and fluctuating abundance in space and time.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the combined effect of both differential survival of hybrids and variation in hybridization rate through time best explain these patterns.

Oceanic forcing of the wintertime North Atlantic Oscillation and European climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a general circulation model of the atmosphere to investigate the ocean's role in forcing North Atlantic and European climate and showed that much of the multiannual to multidecadal variability of the winter North Atlantic Oscillation over the past half century may be reconstructed from a knowledge of North Atlantic sea surface temperature.

Influence of mesoscale eddies on new production in the Sargasso Sea
Dennis J. McGillicuddy,Allan R. Robinson,David A. Siegel,Hans W. Jannasch,R.J. Johnson,Tommy D. Dickey,Joe McNeil,Anthony F. Michaels,Anthony H. Knap +8 more
TL;DR: In the case of the Sargasso Sea, it is shown that the vertical flux of nutrients induced by the dynamics of mesoscale eddies is sufficient to balance the nutrient budget as mentioned in this paper.

Overview of the US JGOFS Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS): a decade-scale look at ocean biology and biogeochemistry
Deborah K. Steinberg,Craig A. Carlson,Nicholas R. Bates,Rodney J. Johnson,Anthony F. Michaels,Anthony H. Knap +5 more
TL;DR: The Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) as mentioned in this paper has been used to study ocean biology and biogeochemistry over a decade at the BATS site, concentrating on seasonal and interannual changes in community structure, and the physical forcing and other factors controlling the temporal dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Breeding Places of the Eel
TL;DR: The problem of the propagation and breeding places of the Common or Freshwater Eel is one of great antiquity; from the days of Aristotle naturalists have occupied themselves therewith, and in certain regions of Europe it has exercised popular imagination to a remarkable degree as mentioned in this paper.
