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): “The swimbladder parasitic nematode Anguillicola crassus is a continental-scale problem, and it has demonstrated damaging effects on the swimming ability of migrating eels (Palstra et al. 2007; Van den Thillart et al. 2007).”

Decreasing eel stocks: survival of the fattest? (2009, background): “…migration, 5.7% is required for incorporation in oocytes, and a total of 13.5% fat is the estimated requirement for healthy migrating silver eels (Palstra et al. 2007). van den Thillart et al. (2007) concluded that with eels having around 20% fat, there is more than enough left after reaching…”
