Important questions to progress science and sustainable management of anguillid eels (2021, background): “japonica glass eels to be produced in captivity for the first time (Masuda et al., 2012; Tanaka et al., 2003) and some modifications have been proposed to improve this type of diet (Yamada et al.”
Positive buoyancy in eel leptocephali: an adaptation for life in the ocean surface layer (2009, methodology): “20 l volume) with UV-treated seawater (22°C) for about 280 days while being fed with an artiWcial diet made primarily from shark egg yolk and krill extract ( Tanaka et al. 2003 ).”
Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “The ultimate goal is to provide a consistent supply of artificially spawned and reared glass eels for aquaculture, but the recent success in rearing leptocephali through metamorphosis into the yellow eel stage (Tanaka et al. 2003) has enabled all stages of eels to be available for laboratory researc”
The duration of migration of Atlantic Anguilla larvae (2010, background): “In the following section, we develop arguments to explain why there are serious doubts about the ability of European eels to sustain the fast oriented swimming over several months that would be required to account for a short duration of migration.”
