Anguilla rostrata glass eel ingress into two, U.S. east coast estuaries: patterns, processes and implications for adult abundance
A time series of American eel Anguilla rostrata glass eel abundance, timing and size from Little Egg Inlet, New Jersey (16 years) and Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina (18 years) was used to provide a better understanding of ingress patterns at two, U.S. east coast estuaries. There was no evidence of s...
