Joint acute toxicity of diazinon and chlorpyrifos to Ceriodaphnia dubia
Diazinon and chlorpyrifos are two organophosphorous pesticides widely found in municipal, agricultural, and urban storm water discharges. Because they are often found concurrently, their relationship…

Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer
  • M. Miller
  • Environmental Science
  • 31 October 2009
TLDR
The present state of knowledge about the ecology of anguilliform leptocephali, which are the unique but poorly understood larvae of eels, is examined, which highlights the interesting and unique aspects of leptonocephalus larvae.

Deep-ocean origin of the freshwater eels
TLDR
Reconstruction of the growth habitats on the resulting tree unequivocally indicates an origination of the freshwater eels from the midwater of the deep ocean, suggesting that they have retained their evolutionary origin as a behavioural trait in their spawning areas.

Oceanic spawning ecology of freshwater eels in the western North Pacific
TLDR
The first collection of Japanese eel eggs near the West Mariana Ridge where adults and newly hatched larvae were also caught shows that spawning occurs during new moon periods throughout the spawning season, suggesting that this type of spawning may reduce predation and facilitate reproductive success.

Migration, speciation, and the evolution of diadromy in anguillid eels
TLDR
The large-scale migration of temperate eels probably evolved from local migrations of tropical eels as a result of long-distance dispersal of leptocephali from spawning sites in tropical waters of low latitude to temperate growth habitats at higher latitudes.

Short-Distance Spawning Migration of Tropical Freshwater Eels
TLDR
This work has collected small leptocephali from around Sulawesi, Indonesia, and has used species-specific genetic markers to identify them as larvae of Anguilla celebesensis and A. borne-ensis, which provides the first definitive information about the general spawning areas of these tropical eels.

Positive buoyancy in eel leptocephali: an adaptation for life in the ocean surface layer
TLDR
The ontogenetic change in buoyancy of eel eggs, leptocephali and glass eels likely enhances their larval survival, transport, and recruitment to terrestrial freshwater habitats.

A physico-chemical survey of inland lakes and saline ponds: Christmas Island (Kiritimati) and Washington (Teraina) Islands, Republic of Kiribati
TLDR
Variability may be indicative of shifts in climatological parameters such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation or the Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

Seasonal variation in the migratory history of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica in Mikawa Bay, Japan
TLDR
It is shown that river, estuarine, and sea eels begin their migration out of Mikawa Bay toward the open ocean at about the same time, and that the estuarist and brackish water habitats of Mikava Bay appear to be producing the majority of spawning migrants in this area.
