In 1904, when the Danish biologist, Johannes Schmidt, aboard the steam research vesselThorcaptured a 7-cm-long leptocephalus of the European eel west of the Faroe Islands in the northeastern North Atlantic Ocean (Schmidt 1906),the chase was on! In fact, it was only in 1893 that the Italian zoologists B. Grassi and S. Calandruccio determined that the species known asLeptocephalus brevirostriswas the larval form of the European eel (Grassi 1896), known then asAnguilla vulgarisand now asAnguilla anguilla. TheThorspecimen and one other collected west of Ireland in the same year were the first specimens to be captured outside the Mediterranean Sea, where Grassi and Calandruccio believed the eels spawned. In 1905, Schmidt captured further specimens, all large (60-88 mm), along the continental slope between the Faroes and Ireland, convincing himself that northern European eels spawned in the Atlantic far from the coasts (Schmidt 1906).
