| Summary: | Abstract MacNamara, R., and McCarthy, T. K. 2012. Size-related variation in fecundity of European eel (Anguilla anguilla). – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: . Declining European eel (Anguilla anguilla) recruitment has focused attention on conservation of potential spawners leaving continental waters. Fecundity of wild, seaward-migrating silver-phase eels was shown to be size-related and higher than previously reported from artificial maturation experiments. Reliable information on fecundity is essential for stock modelling and future development of eel management policies. |
