Upon reaching sexual maturity, it undergoes metamorphosis into a silver eel and migrates back to the Sargasso Sea to spawn and die. The silver eels of Comacchio Lagoon were always caught in the lavorieri with approximately 100% efficiency and official estimates of the total biomass were being made every year for more than 200 years.
