After analyzing all the collection data for larvae of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, in the western North Pacific, we found that the spawning site of this species appears to be near three seamounts in the West Mariana Ridge, 2000–3000u2009km away from their freshwater habitats. These seamounts are located in the westward flow of the North Equatorial Current and are hypothesized to provide cues for migrating silver eels and to serve as possible aggregation sites for spawning. Back-calculated birth dates based on otolith microstructure of leptocephali indicate that the Japanese eel does not spawn continuously during the long spawning season from April to November, but is synchronized to spawn periodically once a month during new moon. This lunar periodicity of spawning and the seamount spawning hypothesis are new developments in the millennium-old mystery of eel spawning that has fascinated naturalists since the time of Aristotle.

土佐湾及び四隅沖黒潮流域で、1990年1月にウナギ目魚類レプトケファルス幼生の採集を行った。採集は丸稚ネット(口径1.3m、網口面積1.33㎡、目合O.33mm)による傾斜曳あるいはステップ曳と高速稚魚ネット(網口面積2.03㎡、目合2.0mm)による表層曳で行われた。計41尾のレプトケファルス幼生が黒潮流域で採れた。その内訳はギンアナゴGnathophis nystromi nystromi(JORDAN et SNYDER)(33尾)、ニラミアナゴ属sp. 5 Ariesoma sp. 5(1尾)、ニラミアナゴ属sp. 7 Ariosoma sp. 7(2尾)、クロアナゴConger japonicus BLEEKER(1尾)、クロアナゴ亜科sp. 1 Congrinae sp. 1(2尾)、メクラアナゴDysomma anguillare BARNARD(2尾)であった。全個体の82.9%(34尾)が黒潮南外側域に分布していた。またギンアナゴは全個体が表層曳で、それ以外は全でステップ曳(ワイヤー長;500, 400, 300, 200, 100m)で採集された。

種子島沿岸での、1991年11月(広島大学豊潮丸)および12月(東京大学淡青丸)の採集により、計242尾のウナギ目レプトケファルス幼生と計5520尾の他目の仔稚魚が採集された。ニホンウナギの幼生は採集されなかった。採集されたレプトケファレス幼生の54.5%をギンアナゴ Gnathophis nystromi nystremi が占めた。ギンアナゴ幼生は種子島の西岸および南岸の水深100-10mの測点で、水深や昼夜を間わず採集された。ギンアナゴ幼生、および他目の仔稚魚の中で優先したネズミギス Gonorynchus abbreviatus・ソコイワシ Bathyltagus ochotensis・ハダカイワシ科 Myctophidae spp. は、いずれも通常は沖合い水域に出現する魚種である。当該海域の水温・塩分濃度は表層から底層まで極めて均一であり、しかも同じ時期の黒潮の水温・塩分濃度とよく一致した。以上より、種子島の西岸と南岸には黒潮水が直接流れ込むことが明らかとなった。沖合い性の仔稚魚は黒潮によって運ばれ、種子島沿岸に達するものと推察される。同時に行なわれた、種子島西海岸長浜なぎさにおける採集では多数のニホンウナギのシラスが採集された。
