France has the largest fishery, taking the lion's share of incoming European eel.

Consequently, the reproductive biology of European eel must be reconsidered.

A device used to track the migratory patterns of European eels has washed up in Guernsey.

This includes the European eel, Atlantic salmon, curlew, freshwater pearl mussel, angel shark and many more.

Here we have used highly polymorphic genetic markers that provide better resolution to investigate genetic structure in European eel.

The EU has therefore brought forward a council regulation to establish a new framework for the protection of the European eel.

The government ban is aimed at stemming a 95 percent slide in the European eel population in the past four decades.

Luckily for European eel, however uncharismatic it might appear to the rest of the world, it's gathered a loyal team of defenders.

The autumn spawning migration of the European eel (s. Anguilla anguilla) to the Sargasso Sea is one of the great animal migrations.

The panmixia hypothesis-thatall European eel (Anguilla anguilla) migrate to the Sargasso Sea for reproduction and comprise a single, randomly mating population-iswidely accepted.
