The first production of glass eel in captivity: fish reproductive physiology facilitates great progress in aquaculture (2003, background): “By 100 days, they attained about 22 mm in TL, and some leptocephali survived over 200 days and reached 31 mm in TL (Tanaka et al. 2001).”
Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “The eventual success in getting artificially spawned A. japonica leptocephali to grow under laboratory conditions (Tanaka et al. 2001) has provided further evidence that leptocephali actively ingest food.”
Puberty in teleosts (2004, methodology): “After artificial fertilization of the gametes thus collected, eel larvae were obtained and grown to the leptocephali stage (Tanaka et al. 2001).”
Evaluation of the larval distribution and migration of the Japanese eel in the western North Pacific (2011, background): “When the TL of larvae at hatching is defined as 3 mm (Yamamoto and Yamauchi 1974; Tanaka et al. 2001), the mean hatching date based on the X-axis intercept of the regression line was 15 April (day 104).”
