Freshwater eels: A symbol of the effects of global change (2018, background): “2009), and/or spatial oscillations of a salinity front used by adult eels to detect the spawning grounds which then lead to oscillations in the success of larval transport (Kimura et al. 2001; Kimura and Tsukamoto 2006).”
Impact of climate on eel populations of the Northern Hemisphere (2008, background): “During the El Niño event in 2002, Kimura & Tsukamoto (2006) noticed that small larvae ( 10 mm total length) were collected just south of the salinity front where these young larvae had never been found in normal years.”
Positive buoyancy in eel leptocephali: an adaptation for life in the ocean surface layer (2009, background): “Xow in the bifurcation region may be a critical component of the recruitment success of the Japanese eel, because changes in oceanographic conditions aVecting the location of spawning or the larval transport of leptocephali may have an impact on how many larvae successfully complete their migration ”
Effect of El Niño on migration and larval transport of the Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) (2007, background): “suggested to be critical to spawning migration of Japanese eels (Kimura and Tsukamoto, 2006), and its interannual variability associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events probably leads to reduced larval transport into the Kuroshio Current, causing poor recruitment in eastern Asia (Kim”
Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “…Oscillation index (Knights 2003; Friedland et al. 2007; Kettle et al. 2008), temperature as a proxy for productivity (Bonhommeau et al. 2008a,b), or the likely latitude of frontal features (Kimura et al. 2001; Kimura and Tsukamoto 2006; Friedland et al. 2007) as is discussed in Section 5-5.”
Evaluation of the larval distribution and migration of the Japanese eel in the western North Pacific (2011, background): “…region may be a key area for influencing the recruitment success of the Japanese eel based on the fact that climate related factors can affect both the currents in this region and the latitude of spawning (Kimura et al. 2001; Kimura and Tsukamoto 2006; Miller et al. 2009; Zenimoto et al. 2009).”
Oceanic changes in the Sargasso Sea and declines in recruitment of the European eel (2007, background): “Changes in oceanographic conditions caused by ocean-atmospheric regime shifts signalled by the NAO in the Atlantic (Knights, 2003) or El Niño in the Pacific (Kimura et al., 2001; Kimura and Tsukamoto, 2006) have been hypothesized as possible factors contributing to the recent declines in northern te”
