Įžuvintų europinių ungurių (Anguilla anguilla L.) migracija Lietuvoje ir potencialus indėlis į nerštinių išteklių atkūrimą
A steep decline in recruitment that commenced during the 1980s has resulted in abundance of the European eel population falling below safe biological limits. Nowadays, stocking of eels is one of the main actions implemented to restore stocks. This raises questions related to the efficacy of this int...
