Seasonal changes in ionoregulatory variables of the glass eel Anguilla anguilla following estuarine entry: comparison with resident elvers
In the present study, glass eels Anguilla anguilla in the Minho River estuary (41·5° N, 8·5° W) decreased in size (standard length, L S and mass, M ) from the beginning (autumn) to the end of the sampling season (summer). On the other hand elvers increased in L S and M from spring to summer and were...
