Anguilla japonica, which mainly uses temperate habitats, spawns sympatrically with the North Pacific population ofAnguilla marmorata, which predominantly has tropical habitats9. While someA. marmoratareach tropical regions, including the Philippines and Indonesia, by the southward-flowing Mindanao Current, o...
as a stepping-stone for solving the long-lasting mystery of eel reproduction which first came out 2,400 years ago and promotes the understanding of oceanic migration and reproduction of marine organisms. Introduction The present study brings new insights on the location of Atlantic eels spawning are...
It was estimated that 100% of the SM eels would not have adequate fat reserves for migration and reproduction, whereas 57% of the WM eels would have adequate reserves. Smaller-sized SM eels would take 1.6times longer to reach the spawning grounds than WM eels and, thus, may not arrive ...

Once the eggs have been laid, the male eel then fertilizes them, completing the cycle of reproduction. This remarkable behavior is essential for the survival of the species, and is a fascinating example of the lengths animals will go to in order to ensure their survival....
Upon maturation, their body color changes to a darker dorsal skin and a metallic silver ventral skin, and they return to their spawning areas in the ocean for reproduction. Japanese eels are distributed across East Asia in regions adjacent to the western Pacific Ocean. Their spawning grounds are...

In comparison, the spawning by garden eels while extending out of burrows in their shallow water colonies appears to be a unique mode of reproduction among the Anguilliformes. Also interesting is that the larval distributions of garden eel leptocephali compared to the larvae of other marine eels...
Finally, all individuals metamorphose (silver stage) and migrate back to their reproduction site. A global conservation plan is difficult to set up since freshwater eels belonging to the Anguillidae family spread over a broad geographic range representing over 150 countries15.
