Anguillid eels are found globally in fresh, transitional and saline waters and have played an
important role in human life for centuries. The population status of several species is now of …

Anguillid eels were once considered to be the classic example of catadromy. However,
alternative life cycles have been reported, including skip** the freshwater phase and …

This chapter reviews and synthesises knowledge on reproduction and recruitment in estuary‐
dependent and estuary‐associated fishes. Resident and migrating species (anadromous …

Migration is an important ecological trait that allows animals to exploit resources in different
habitats, obtaining extra energy for growth and reproduction. The phenology (or timing) of …

The dependence on connectivity and use of estuaries by two major groups of fishes, namely
estuary-associated marine and diadromous species, are reviewed. The former group …

High velocity barriers pose a risk to upstream migrating European eels (Anguilla anguilla,
