Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Maine, 1996.

Physiological sensitivity of the olfactory system of yellow, silver, and artificially matured silver American eels (Anguilla rostrata) to chemicals contained in waters collected from the estuary and artificial salt solutions was used to determine whether (1) eels migrating in estuaries can detect and discriminate tidal water masses and (2) the olfactory system is functional when eels approach the spawning area. All stages detected the sample waters, but discriminations among them were not revealed. Yellow eels were more sensitive to natural waters than salinity samples, but silver eels were more sensitive to salinity samples. The olfactory system is functional at the matured stage. Male and female olfactory function differs at the matured stage but not at the unmatured stage. Olfactory morphology of matured eels was not a good predictor of olfactory capability. Olfactory physiology seems to change with life stage.

All stages detected the sample waters, but discriminations among them were not revealed.

Male and female olfactory function differs at the matured stage but not at the unmatured stage. Olfactory morphology of matured eels was not a good predictor of olfactory capability. Olfactory physiology seems to change with life stage.
520 $a Behaviors of normal and anosmic estuarine-resident yellow and migratory silver eels were examined in the laboratory and field. Normal and anosmic yellow eels, and normal silver eels did not choose low or high tide water in laboratory tests. Anosmic silver eels chose low tide. Anosmic eels were less active than normal eels. There was no evidence from the laboratory study that yellow or silver eels display a behavioral preference for scalar olfactory cues of tidal water masses. However, field data revealed that olfaction plays some role in yellow eel homing and silver eel estuarine residence. All four normal yellow eels displaced from a capture site, homed to that site. Five of eight anosmic eels did not home. Various behavioral patterns were expressed by anosmic eels compared with the single behavior expressed by normal eels, selective tidal stream transport (STST). STST was also used by three anosmic eels. Seven of nine normal and two of eight anosmic silver eels tracked through the estuary, left the estuary within 5 d and 7.5 d of release, respectively. Anosmic silver eels had extended estuarine residence times, probably because they could not discriminate tidal water masses. Olfaction is an important component of the orientational mechanisms used by yellow and silver American eels in estuaries.
