European eels Anguilla anguilla from deep Mediterranean waters.

This edited volume is a compilation of contributions from an American Fisheries Society symposium held in 2007. It features recent research into the evolution and ecology of diadromous fishes and describes the threats facing these species in a dynamic geophysical, biological, and sociopolitical environment. This is a timely publication given that many diadromous fish species around theworld are in steep decline due to habitat alteration, harvesting, pollution, hydropower development, and global climate change.
