Positive buoyancy in eel leptocephali: an adaptation for life in the ocean surface layer (2009, background): “123 Bonhommeau et al. 2008 ). Therefore, a greater understanding of the ecology of leptocephali in the open ocean is needed, and their mechanism of buoyancy adaptation is a critical component of how these unusual Wshes can make such long migrations in the planktonic zone of the ocean.”
Evaluation of the larval distribution and migration of the Japanese eel in the western North Pacific (2011, background): “It is especially important for the Japanese eel because changes in ocean conditions such as the position of the salinity front near the spawning area, flow patterns of currents, or even changes in productivity could be affecting its recruitment by acting on the larvae during their migration (Kimura ”
Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “Changes in productivity in the surface layer, however, could affect larval survival by reducing feeding success of leptocephali (Knights 2003; Friedland et al., 2007; Bonhommeau et al. 2008a,b).”
Geographic effects on American eel (Anguilla rostrata) life history characteristics and strategies (2010, background): “1994), but Bonhommeau et al. (2008) concluded that long-term fluctuations in sea temperature have greater effect on recruitment than variations in latitude and strength of the Gulf Stream.”
