Popis: | The widely accepted panmixia hypothesis that European eels migrate to the Sargasso Sea for reproduction and comprise a sin gle, randomly mating population, could be put again under dis cussion, particularly after the last genetic studies of Wirth & Bernatchez (2001) and Daemen et al. (2001). These could lead support to the opinion of the Italian biologist G. B. Grassi, who, on his first finding in 1893 small larvae along the coast of Sicily, was convinced that European eels could reproduce in the Mediterranean Sea. |
