Age and growth of yellow eels, Anguilla anguilla, in the estuary of the Guadalquivir river (south‐west Spain)
A total of 1068 eels were examined from a population located in the Guadalquivir river estuary (37°N, 6°25′W). Maximum ages recorded were 4 + (males) and 7+ (females), and maximum lengths were 39‐1 cm (males) and 54.1 cm (females). No growth was recorded between November and April, most occurring in...
