• Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “2002), buoyancy (Tsukamoto et al. 2009) and a strong swimming ability (Wuenschel and Able 2008) until metamorphosis.”
• Evaluation of the larval distribution and migration of the Japanese eel in the western North Pacific (2011, background): “For example, if the potentially greater buoyancy of leptocephali ( Tsukamoto et al. 2009b ) in this region causes a more shallow depth distribution and northward Ekman transport as has been hypothesized (Kimura et al. 1994), this may reduce the huge losses of larvae that are suggested by modeling st”
