Effect of El Niño on migration and larval transport of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) (2007, background): “…migration are 150 m by day and 50 m by night before metamorphosis, and 50 m throughout the day after metamorphosis (i.e. after 120 d). aKimura et al. (2001). bTsukamoto (1990); Tsukamoto et al. (2003); Shinoda (2004). cCastonguay and McCleave (1987); Kajihara et al. (1988); Otake et al. (1998).”
Discovery of mature freshwater eels in the open ocean (2009, background): “These seamounts (Pathfinder, Arakane, and Suruga, from north to south) (Fig. 1a) have been proposed to be spawning area of the Japanese eels or landmarks for the eels to aggregate prior to spawning [15, 16 ].”
Vulnerability of seamount fish to fishing: Fuzzy analysis of life-history attributes (2006, background): “Recently, Tsukamoto et al. (2003) found that the spawning site of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) in the western North Pacific, appears to be near three seamounts, 2000-3000 km away from their freshwater adult feeding habitats.”
Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, methodology): “…on the likely ages of Indo–Pacific leptocephali have been gained from studies on their otolith microstructure, with anguillid (Ishikawa et al. 2001; Tsukamoto et al. 2003; Kuroki et al. 2005, 2006a,b, 2007, 2008a), congrid (Lee and Byun 1996; Kimura et al. 2004) and other families of marine eel…”
