Fish Need to Move! Learning About Fish Migration - American eel

My species once made up over a quarter of the total fish found in Atlantic coastal streams.  Dams have prevented us from reaching our feeding grounds, and have reduced the amount of good habitat for us to live in the  river. And when we migrate downstream to return to the ocean, we can get caught, and sometimes even die, in turbines at hydroelectric facilities, where electricity is generated using river water.
