Mutual adaptations between hosts and parasites determine stress levels in eels
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 Invasive parasites may severely affect their new hosts. Two invasive parasites occurring in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) are the Asian swim bladder nematode Anguillicola crassus and the Ponto-caspian acanthocephalan Pomphorhynchus sp., which were

Aquaculture Reports, 2020 European eel Anguilla anguilla is among the highly valued species for aquaculture. Since its peculiar biology, it is not yet possible to complete the whole life cycle in artificial conditions and its supply depends entirely on wild catches.

Panmixia in the European eel: a matter of time… [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 The European eel (Anguilla anguillaL.) has been a prime example of the panmixia paradigm because of its extraordinary adaptation to the North Atlantic gyral system, semelparous spawning in the Sargasso Sea and long trans-oceanic migration. Recently, this view was challenged by the suggestion of a genetic structure characterized by an isolation-by ...

European eel (Anguilla anguilla): prediction of spawner escapement from continental population parameters [PDF]
, 2000 This paper describes the assessment of silver European eel (Anguilla anguilla) escapement based on a “sedentary” population fraction analysis in a 60-km2 watershed of northern Brittany (France).

Footprints of Natural Selection in North Atlantic Eels: A Review
Fishes, 2022 The study of natural selection and local adaptation is a thriving field of research. Local adaptation is driven by environment components and results in locally adapted phenotypes with higher fitness relative to other phenotypes from other locations in ...

Individual-based model of juvenile eel movement parametrized with computational fluid dynamics-derived flow fields informs improved fish pass design [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 European eel populations have declined markedly in recent decades, caused in part by in-stream barriers, such as weirs and pumping stations, which disrupt the upstream migration of juvenile eels, or elvers, into rivers.
