Abstract

First evidence of first-feeding European eel larvae that have been reared in captivity•Up to 50% of larvae ingested a diet composed of concentrated rotifer paste, with or without natural feeding stimulants•Documentation of a significant increase in feeding success under higher light intensities•Results move us a step closer towards understanding an undisclosed phase in the European eel life cycle
