• Migration pattern of silver eel (Anguilla anguilla, L.) in an obstructed river system (2008, background): “This, even if the 6000 km trip burns 40–60% of the stored energy (van den Thillart et al. 2004).”
• The silvering process of Anguilla anguilla: a new classification from the yellow resident to the silver migrating stage (2005, background): “Even if estimations of necessary energy stores have been lowered to 13% by Van den Thillart et al. (2004), it is still highly probable that eels optimize their chances of a successful reproduction by delaying migration and reverting back to a yellow resident stage.”
• Swimming performance of silver eels is severely impaired by the swim-bladder parasite Anguillicola crassus (2007, unknown): “A set of 22 Blazka-type 127-l swim-tunnels as described by van den Thillart et al. (2004) were used for the swimming trials.”
• The European eel (Anguilla anguilla, Linnaeus), its Lifecycle, Evolution and Reproduction: A Literature Review (2005, methodology): “The flow pattern of the tunnels has been evaluated using the Laser-Doppler method (van den Thillart et al. 2004).”
• Impact of silvering stage, age, body size and condition on reproductive potential of the European eel (2006, unknown): “In the eel’s natural environment, high fat content is also crucial for them to swim across the Atlantic Ocean (van den Thillart et al. 2004).”
• Decreasing eel stocks: survival of the fattest? (2009, background): “More recently, through experiments with eels in swimming tunnels, the energy required for migration was estimated as 7.7% (van Ginneken & van den Thillart 2000), 12.6% (van den Thillart et al. 2004), 7.8% (Palstra et al. 2006a) and 6% fat (van den Thillart et al. 2007).”
