Seasonal fluctuations in the incidence of epidermal papillomas of the European eel Anguilla anguilla L.
The eels of the Lower Elbe (15–35 cm total length, freshwater age groups III–V) show a high incidence of epidermal papillomas. These neoplasms, situated mainly in the snout region, show a marked seasonal fluctuation. The incidence is low in spring and autumn (min. 2–3 %) and rises sharply in summer...
