Summary:A long history of research on artificial reproduction of the commercially important European eel has not lead to production of viable leptocephali. More than 20 years ago Bezdenezhnykh (et al., 1983) obtained larvae but then died within a few days after hatching. Similar results were obtained in two recent studies (Pedersen, 2003; Palstra et
