[Departement_IRSTEA]MA [TR1_IRSTEA]QSA / DYMECO International audience In order to decipher movements during freshwater eel colonization, we experimentally characterized individual locomotor behavior of two eel life history stages: elvers and yellow eels. A ramp located at the flume tank upstream si...
