- J. Aoyama, N. Mochioka, K. Tsukamoto
- Environmental Science
- 3 November 1999
Horizontal distributions of anguillid leptocephali are apparently closely related to the freshwater habitat of adults by way of ocean currents, and specific dispersal routes of leptecephalus larvae from likely spawning areas to their freshwater habitats are suggested.

A new species of garden eel from the Eastern Pacific with comments on Heteroconger digueti (Pellegrin) and related nominal species
- P. Castle
- Biology
- 1999
The smaller of the two syntypes of H. digueti from the Gulf of California is shown to have a regrown hypural complex and has probably lost 10-12 or more vertebrae, and other information on vertebral numbers has implications for the way in which the species of the digUeti type are viewed.
