Introduced American eelsAnguilla rostratain European waters: life-history traits in a non-native environment
This study investigated growth, condition and development of American eels Anguilla rostrata that were introduced into a European river to estimate their competitive potential in a non-native habitat. Results demonstrate that A. rostrata develops normally in European waters and successfully competes...
