Hudson River Migration story silver eel Sargasso Sea
Eels grow for many years in rivers and streams Migration story Glass eels arrive Adult silver eels in estuaries return to the Sargasso to spawn Larvae move north on Gulf Stream currents Sargasso Sea American eels ( Anguilla rostrata ) likely hatch here
Why do we care? Eel numbers are going down The population of American eels is declining. What factors could be causing this?
Possible Factors Causing Recent Eel Declines Historic order of impact: 1. Habitat loss 2. Dams and barriers 3. Water pollution 4. Overfishing 5. Hydroelectric turbines 6. Climate change 7. Food web changes 8. Parasites (adapted from John Casselman, Queens University)
How are people helping to better understand eels? The Hudson River Eel Project 1,000,000+ eels caught & released above barriers since 2008 ~1,000 volunteers annually
What is The Glass Eel Project? Fyke nets are set in tributaries of the Hudson. Each day in the spring volunteers and students check the nets, count the eels, record the data, and release the eels above the next barrier to migration.
