The claim that eels do not reproduce is definitively refuted by extensive scientific evidence documenting their long-distance spawning migrations, the collection of newly hatched larvae, and direct tracking of adults to breeding grounds like the Sargasso Sea.
The claim asserts that eels do not reproduce. Multiple peer-reviewed studies provide robust empirical evidence regarding the reproductive biology of eels, including tracking adult migrations to spawning grounds (e.g., the Sargasso Sea), collecting newly hatched larvae, and analyzing population genetics that rely entirely on sexual reproduction. All available evidence overwhelmingly refutes the claim.
