Growth of European eel in a Turkish river at the southern-eastern limit of its distribution
European eel, Anguilla anguilla L., has a wide distribution from polar to arid climates. The growth and sex in eels from the River Asi, which is in the most arid region of the species distribution, and at a temperature of 21-27 ºC close to the experimentally determined optimum for the eel were exami...

European eel, Anguilla anguilla L., has a wide distribution from polar to arid climates.
