Species for Sale: European Eel
<p>The European eel (<em>Anguilla anguilla</em>) is a snake-like fish found across much of Europe and parts of North Africa. It is catadromous, with adults migrating from freshwater to the Sargasso Sea off the east coast of North America, where they spawn and then die (IUCN Red List, 2020). After hatching, the larval eels spend on average two years travelling across the Atlantic, a journey that less than one in 500 of them will survive. They eventually reach the coast as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=105&v=WBRnNk_uo9Y&feature=emb_title" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">glass eels</a> (named for their transparent appearance during this life stage) when they swim upriver in their next life stage — elvers — before finding a suitable patch to develop into adult eels.</p>
