The growth rate of eel in tributaries of the lower River Severn, England, and its relationship with stock size

The growth rate of 1980 eel Anguilla anguilla from 15 sites in the Severn system varied between 16·4 and 27·9 mm year ‐1 , density from 0·12 to 1·14 m ‐2 and biomass from 2·56 to 25·24 g m ‐2 . There was no significant relationship between growth rate and density or biomass ( P > 0·05)....
