Description
In many reservoirs like lakes and ponds, European eels have been stocked either unintentionally or intentionally, for instance for recreational fishing. Since these reservoirs are not connected to rivers, eels are unable to migrate to the sea for spawning. In this study, we investigate if large eels from the Callemoeie reservoir (Belgium) still migrate to the sea when transported to an estuary.
