Minimal and maximal size of eel

Abstract

At the occasion of the catch of a giant eel in the Netherlands, it was realized extreme sizes listed in literature are quite arbitrary chosen. A first attempt to derive true values was undertaken. Minimal and maximal values for length, weight and condition are listed for glass eels, yellow eels and (male and female) silver eels.
