• Important questions to progress science and sustainable management of anguillid eels (2021, background): “Yellow and silver eel fisheries tend to be less economically valuable than glass eel fisheries (Knights, 2001), but these life stages are still widely exploited, and this is believed to impact subsequent recruitment (Åström & Dekker, 2007; Dekker, 2003a; Miller et al., 2009).”
• Oceanic changes in the Sargasso Sea and declines in recruitment of the European eel (2007, background): “These declines may also be related to reductions in the size of the spawning population of each species ( Dekker, 2003, 2004 ), driven by anthropogenic factors such as habitat loss, pollution, parasite introductions, and overfishing (Haro et al., 2000; Feunteun, 2002).”
• Fluctuations in European eel (Anguilla anguilla) recruitment resulting from environmental changes in the Sargasso Sea (2007, background): “A ombination of fa tors are invoked to explain eel sto k de line, in luding over shing (Dekker,2003b), anthropogeni impa ts su h as pollution (Amiard-Triquet et al., 1988; Gony et al.,1988; Feunteun, 2002; M Cleave, 2001), habitat loss (Feunteun, 2002), parasites (Aguilar etal., 2005), u tuations…”

• Decreasing eel stocks: survival of the fattest? (2009, background): “Since the early 1980s, glass eel recruitment has dropped over the whole distribution area to about 1% of the levels encountered in the 1970s (Dekker 2003a) and fisheries yields have decreased in most European countries (Dekker 2003b).”
• Migratory patterns and contribution of stocking to the population of European eel in Lithuanian waters as indicated by otolith Sr:Ca ratios. (2006, background): “), Anguilla rostrata (Lesueur) and Anguilla japonica Temminck & Schlegel, have declined throughout their distribution ranges due to overfishing, anthropogenic activities and changes of oceanic currents induced by global weather anomalies (Castonguay et al., 1994; Dekker, 2003; Tatsukawa, 2003).”
• Impact of climate on eel populations of the Northern Hemisphere (2008, background): “The decline has mostly been attributed to direct impacts of anthropogenic activities such as dams, pollution and habitat loss, especially in estuaries and continental habitats (McCleave 2001, Feunteun 2002, Dekker 2003, Tatsukawa 2003).”
