Biology and Ecology of Anguillid Eels

<p>Anguillid eels have fascinated biologists for centuries due to their spectacular long-distance migrations between freshwater habitats and their spawning areas far out in the ocean. This book provides a long overdue update on the biology and ecology of anguillid eels and features comprehensive coverage of the key features of the genus <i>Anguilla</i>. It covers a broad spectrum of topics on the biology (taxonomy phylogeny evolution reproduction feeding salinity adaptation) and ecology (life history recruitment migration) of anguillid eels. It also brings together important information on the state of eel fisheries conservation exploitation and management.</p>
