I read a great artilce a few months back in OTW. They spawn in the Sargasso Sea (sp?) and spend their young lives getting to the coast where they swim up-river to fresh water. When they reach maturity, they head back to the sea to spawn. Its a really cool story. All american eels spawn in the Sargasso sea, all are from the same source. Pretty wild. No wonder they are so tough.
