The Influence of Sex, Parasitism, and Ontogeny on the Physiological Response of European Eels (Anguilla anguilla) to an Abiotic Stressor.

Abstract

Migration of adult European eels (Anguilla anguilla) from freshwater feeding grounds to oceanic spawning grounds is an energetically demanding process and is accompanied by dramatic physiological and behavioral changes. Humans have altered the aquatic environment (e.g., dams) and made an inherently challenging migration even more difficult; human activity is regarded as the primary driver of the collapse in eel populations. The neuroendocrine …
