Freshwater eels: A symbol of the effects of global change (2018, background): “This is especially critical at the silver eel stage when lipid levels are highest (over 13%) to achieve their transoceanic migration to the spawning grounds (van Ginneken and van den Thillart 2000; Van Den Thillart et al. 2004, 2007; Belpaire et al. 2009).”
Where once the eel and the elephant were together: decline of the European eel because of changing hydrology in southwest Europe and northwest Africa? (2011, background): “However, careful consideration of the evidence suggests that the male spawners may face critical thresholds of fat reserves for a successful trans-Atlantic migration (Belpaire et al. 2009), and this may restrict the effective spawning population of males to the Atlantic coast of Morocco and the Iber”
Important questions to progress science and sustainable management of anguillid eels (2021, background): “, 2009), (b) reduction of lipid physiology and storage during growth (Belpaire et al., 2009; Byer, 2013; Cerón et al., 1996; FernándezVega et al., 1999; ICES, 2016b; Sancho et al., 1998), and (c) the reduction of male fertility (Bahamonde et al.”
