Patterns in longitudinal distribution of American Eel (Anguilla rostrata) population characteristics in rivers of Puerto Rico
American Eel (Anguilla rostrata) population characteristics and distribution remain drastically understudied in the Caribbean region. We conducted the first island-wide study to evaluate the distribution of density, length, and sex in relation to distance from the mouth of 23 stream reaches in five rivers in Puerto Rico. We found 287 American Eel at a mean density of 156.7 fish/ha. Sex ratios favored females (52:3) but most of the eel sampled were undifferentiated or undetermined. Generalized linear modeling indicated that upstream habitats with low eel density were optimal environments for production of large and female eel. Our findings indicate that Puerto Rico could significantly contribute to the spawning population and strengthen knowledge of American Eel in the Caribbean. Our findings could be used to guide local and range-wide conservation efforts to ensure stream connectivity and access to optimal upstream habitat for survival of the population.
期刊介绍：
Fisheries Management and Ecology is a journal with an international perspective. It presents papers that cover all aspects of the management, ecology and conservation of inland, estuarine and coastal fisheries.
The Journal aims to:
foster an understanding of the maintenance, development and management of the conditions under which fish populations and communities thrive, and how they and their habitat can be conserved and enhanced;
promote a thorough understanding of the dual nature of fisheries as valuable resources exploited for food, recreational and commercial purposes and as pivotal indicators of aquatic habitat quality and conservation status;
help fisheries managers focus upon policy, management, operational, conservation and ecological issues;
assist fisheries ecologists become more aware of the needs of managers for information, techniques, tools and concepts;
integrate ecological studies with all aspects of management;
ensure that the conservation of fisheries and their environments is a recurring theme in fisheries and aquatic management.
