3,There are over six thousand publications on eels, but the life cycle of these economically important food fish is still murky and has a long history of speculation. For centuries, nobody ever saw a baby eel, and even now, their spawning has not been witnessed. Aristotle presumed that eels grew from earthworms. The first young of eels, transparent leaflike forms, were found in the open Atlantic Ocean. Gradually, as more of these leaflike creatures were collected, it was noted that they varied in size, and that the smallest ones were found south of Bermuda in the Sargasso Sea, which was therefore presumed to be the site of their origin, that is, the eel spawning area.
