hallo user:Tannin! thank you for your nice comment with the eel story - I would very much appreciate your help in editing, as I come from Germany and my English is lousy - you will like our project with LEO, judging on your background - we put up the project mainly for our cooperations with high schools, where the students build "eel ladders" for the baby eels to climb over dams into the US - that is really fun
best greetings

- Uh, could we have some background on the "eel story" thing ie: where the story originates from and where it is popular because at the moment it just looks like some crazy thing someone just made up and put at the end of the article. --86.130.149.218 20:42, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- hallo 86.130.149.218 - this is not "made up", it is just an amazing story, like for the fragile leptocephalus to travel in three years from the USA to Danmark, etc. and it is a sad story because of the drastic decline, in some places to zero - we are expanding the story and will add refs soon - why don't you help ;-) (Oceanographer) Uwe Kils Missing image

Minor Grammar...
In the opening sentence, should it read Eel reproduction instead of reproduction of the eel?
Peer Review
Maybe this article could be submitted to peer review, not necessarily prior to a submission at FAC, but for constructive comments. Who knows, maybe in time it is FA material. Phoenix2 18:47, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Stocking?
Neither this article nor the commercial site I was just looking at explains just what is meant by "stocking" or "restocking" -- if it's self-explanatory to Europeans or to eel-lovers I'm afraid it's not to me. I would guess that it has to do with replenishing aquaculture tanks....? — Catherine\talk 03:07, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- It's also a common term for raising fish in controlled settings and then releasing them to the wild, usually for fishing purposes. Carter 09:28, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
