Selective tidal stream transport in silver European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.)--Migration behaviour in a dynamic estuary Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee Universiteit Gent
Different fish species use selective tidal stream transport (STST) to efficiently migrate through strong tidal systems to complete their life cycle, but the use of STST by silver European eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) is still controversial. In this study, we found strong evidence that silver European eels apply STST. The results illustrate that eels can distinguish between ebb and flood and suggest that tides play a role in orientation, either ...
