| Growth of American and European eel leptocephali as revealed by otolith microstructure. |
|
| He noted that all the leptocephali he found were very similar, and hypothesized that they all must have descended from a common ancestor species. |
|
| He also observed that the farther out to sea in the Atlantic Ocean he went, the smaller the leptocephali he caught were. |
|
| For example, these include notes on oophagy by eels, consumption of eel leptocephali by bluefish, and taxonomy of Cyprinodon. |
|
| These leptocephali metamorphosed into juveniles which were abundant in July and October of the same year. |
|
| Spawning of Conger oceanicus and Conger triporiceps in the Sargasso Sea and subsequent distribution of leptocephali. |
|
| They planned to find this patch of ocean by catching newly hatched eel larvae, called leptocephali. |
|
| Physical and behavioural controls on the oceanic distribution and migration of leptocephali. |
|
| Eels begin life as flat and transparent larvae, called leptocephali. |
