Evidence for involvement of chemical communication in reproduction of the eel Anguilla anguilla

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is characterised by long transoceanic migration to spawning sites during which the fish become sexually mature. A previous study demonstrated that mature eels may induce physiological and behavioural changes in immature conspecifics. This raises the possibility t...
