Description
Summary:<qd> MacNamara, R., and McCarthy, T. K. Size-related variation in fecundity of European eel ( Anguilla anguilla) . – ICES Journal of Marine Science, doi :10.1093/icesjms/fss123. </qd>Declining European eel ( Anguilla anguilla ) recruitment has focused attention on conservation of potential spawners leaving continental waters. Fecundity of wild, seaward-migrating silver-phase eels was shown to be size-related and higher than previously reported from artificial maturation experiments. Reliable information on fecundity is essential for stock modelling and future development of eel management policies.
