Scientists have long sought to uncover the secrets of the migration of anguillid eels, genus
Anguilla. As catadromous fishes, anguillid eels spend most of their lives in freshwater until …

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

The abundance of Japanese eel Anguilla japonica has rapidly decreased in recent
decades. Following a re-evaluation of the possibility of extinction, the Japanese Ministry of …

Fish distributions in river systems are known to be affected by large dams and other artificial
cross‐river structures such as weirs that prevent their movements and migrations. However …

The high spatiotemporal heterogeneity makes it difficult to ensure the representation of
samples in estuarine studies. Using Japanese eels as natural samplers (n= 881), we …

The homing behavior and site fidelity to habitats in various fishes, including anguillid eels
(genus Anguilla), are fascinating. However, little is known about how yellow‐phase eels …

Water‐choice trial experiments revealed that Anguilla japonica glass eels collected in
southern Japan possess strong preferences for fresh water and agricultural water. Their …
