Rhythmic swimming activity in Anguilla anguilla glass eels: Synchronisation to water current reversal under laboratory conditions
International audience Synchronisation of swimming activity to water current reversal every 6.2 h was tested in the European glass eel (Anguilla anguilla L.). When presented with a change in water current direction, glass eels exhibited rhythmic patterns of activity with a period close to the tidal...
