Evidence of different habitat use by New Zealand freshwater eels Anguilla australis and A. dieffenbachii, as revealed by otolith microchemistry (2004, background): “…and freshwater residents of A. anguilla (Tzeng et al. 1997, 2000), A. japonica (Tsukamoto & Arai 2001, Tzeng et al. 2002, Arai et al. 2003) and A. rostrata (Jessop et al. 2002), and appeared to reflect estuarine residence, or show clear evidence of switching between different salinity environments.”
Otolith chemistry to determine movements of diadromous and freshwater fish (2005, unknown): “Anguillid eels, in particular, are one group in which many studies have shown that catadromy is facultative rather than obligate (Tsukamoto et al. 1998; Tsukamoto and Arai 2001; Jessop et al. 2002; Kotake et al. 2004).”
Migratory patterns and contribution of stocking to the population of European eel in Lithuanian waters as indicated by otolith Sr:Ca ratios. (2006, background): “Otolith Sr:Ca ratios in combination with age data have been used to elucidate the migratory environmental history of diadromous fishes, including anguillids (Tsukamoto & Arai, 2001; Jessop et al., 2002; Shiao et al., 2003).”
Habitat use by the European eel Anguilla anguilla in Irish waters (2006, background): “These conditions may confine the eel to the estuarine waters; hence, estuary-dependent eels are predominant in the European eel Anguilla anguilla (Tzeng et al., 2000), Japanese eel Anguilla japonica (Tsukamoto and Arai, 2001; Arai et al., 2003a,b; Kotake et al., 2003, 2005), American eel Anguilla ro”
Life history of American eel Anguilla rostrata: new insights from otolith microchemistry (2008, methodology): “Estimating the percent habitat occupancy as the proportion of Sr:Ca values that differ from a critical transition value (Jessop et al. 2002, 2004, Lamson et al. 2006) ignores outliers and their potential as indicators of brief inter-habitat movements.”
Variation in the annual growth, by sex and migration history, of silver American eels Anguilla rostrata (2004, methodology): “We considered Sr:Ca ratios less than 4.0 × 10–3 to indicate freshwater residence and values greater than 5.0 × 10–3 to indicate estuarine residence, with intermediate values representing a change in habitat (Jessop et al. 2002) (Fig.”
Important questions to progress science and sustainable management of anguillid eels (2021, background): “Anguillid eels appear to show a high degree of plasticity regarding their dependency on freshwater habitats, as demonstrated by studies that used techniques such as otolith microchemistry and stable isotope ratio to assess habitat occupancy (Arai et al., 2004; Chino & Arai, 2010; Clément et al., 201”
Phenotypic plasticity of habitat use by three temperate eel species, Anguilla anguilla, A. japonica and A. rostrata (2006, methodology): “…studies hypothesised the coexistence within eel Anguilla spp. populations of different life history tactics related to the choice of habitat (marine, brackish, freshwater) or a shift of habitat (Tsukamoto & Arai 2001, Jessop et al. 2002, Tzeng et al. 2002, Morrison et al. 2003, Kotake et al. 2004).”
Disparities in habitat use and migratory behavior between tropical eel Anguilla marmorata and temperate eel A. japonica in four Taiwanese rivers (2003, background): “To date, 3 temperate eels, Anguilla anguilla, A. rostrata and A. japonica , have been found to have flexible migratory patterns, including freshwater, seawater and estuarine contingents (Tzeng et al. 2000b, 2002, 2003, Tsukamoto & Arai 2001, Jessop et al. 2002).”
Migratory environmental history of the grey mullet Mugil cephalus as revealed by otolith Sr:Ca ratios (2004, background): “…including anadromous salmonids (Kalish 1990, Howland et al. 2001, Limburg et al. 2001), striped bass (Secor 1992, Secor & Piccoli 1996) and catadromous freshwater eels (Tzeng 1994, 1995, 1996, Tzeng & Tsai 1994, Tzeng et al. 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002a, 2003, Tsukamoto & Arai 2001, Jessop et al. 2002).”
Seasonal variation in the migratory history of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica in Mikawa Bay, Japan (2005, background): “…previous one (Tzeng et al. 2003), the growth rates of Japanese eels were all relatively high compared to those observed in other temperate eels (e.g. Poole & Reynolds 1996, Jellyman 1997, Oliveira 1999, Jessop et al. 2004), possibly due in part to the relatively mild winters in this part of Japan.”
A review of glass eel migratory behaviour, sampling techniques and abundance estimates in estuaries: implications for assessing recruitment, local production and exploitation (2014, background): “Indeed, using otolith microchemistry, Jessop et al. (2002) demonstrated that juvenile A. rostrata that remained in the estuary for 1 year or more before entering the river contributed to silver eel production to a significantly greater extent than did elvers that entered freshwater during their…”
Effect of temperature and salinity on otolith element incorporation in juvenile gray snapper Lutjanus griseus (2006, methodology): “For example, studies on eels (Tzeng et al. 1997, Jessop et al. 2002, Daverat et al. 2006), American shad (Limburg 2001) and striped bass (Secor 1992, Secor et al. 1995) have used [Sr/Ca]otolith as proxies for salinity changes in the water.”
