A preliminary telemetry study of the migration of silver European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) in the River Mosel, Germany
To study the behaviour of silver eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) during their downstream migration, particularly near a hydroelectric power dam, we tagged nine eels with ultrasonic transmitters and tracked their paths in the River Mosel, Germany. The onset of migration coincided with the first flood eve...
