%0 Journal Article %J Ecology of Freshwater Fish %D 2005 %T The yellow European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) may adopt a sedentary lifestyle in inland freshwaters %A Laffaille, P %A Anthony Acou %A Guillouet, J %X We analysed the movements of the growing yellow phase using a long-term mark-recapture programme on European eels in a small catchment (the Fremur, France). The results showed that of the yellow eels (> 200 mm) recaptured, more than 90% were recaptured at the original marking site over a long period before the silvering metamorphosis and downstream migration. We conclude that yellow European eels > 200 mm may adopt a sedentary lifestyle in freshwater area, especially in small catchment. %B Ecology of Freshwater Fish %V 14 %P 191–196 %G eng %U http://apps.isiknowledge.com/InboundService.do?Func=Frame&product=WOS&action=retrieve&SrcApp=EndNote&Init=Yes&SrcAuth=ResearchSoft&mode=FullRecord&UT=WOS:000228976600009 %R 10.1111/j.1600-0633.2005.00092.x
