“…Catadromous fish use along their migration pathways a variety of habitats and face many diverse environmental threats (McIntyre et al, 2016). In Europe, as observed for most migratory animals (Sanderson et al, 2006;Wilcove and Wikelski, 2008), a worldwide decline of migratory fish has been recorded at least since the beginning of the 20th century (Béguer et al, 2007;Wolter, 2015;Lambert et al, 2019). The causes are numerous and likely cumulative (e.g., obstacles to migration, deterioration in essential habitat and water quality, unsustainable fisheries, parasite introductions), although quantitative evidence has been rarely demonstrated (Dekker and Casselman, 2014).…”

Catadromous fish species are very important organisms for their ecological, economical, and cultural value. For its complex life species catadromous fish result in worldwide decline since the beginning of the 20th century. Among the most iconic catadromous species, the European eel Anguilla anguilla L. 1758 has aroused considerable interest since very ancient times. Because, to date, many aspects of their life cycle remain relatively unknown, to implement our knowledge about the main natural and anthropogenic threats to its survivorship and identify possible solutions to preserve it, in this narrative review, we present the state of the knowledge about the life cycle, habitat occupancy, recruitment, and migration patterns of the European eel and about the major threats most likely have contributed to the decline of eels’ populations.
