The Infinite Monkey Cage · What’s the deal with eels? – Lucy Porter, David Righton and Caroline Durif · 26 Nov 2025 podcast

So when an individual chooses, let's say, it's the wrong word, but when it begins its migration.

So that varies.

It's not just when they are 10 years old or when they are 15 years old.

It can be when they are 30 years old.

So what for you was that first story that you thought, this is something I have to unravel, this is something I have to know more about?

How accurate are they?

It's unbelievable to me because it's such a common thing.

You know, when you say we don't really understand the life cycle of this, you think of some rare animal or plant.

There aren't many of them around.

But everybody knows these things.

What year was that?

Because I'm thinking of inflation and stuff.

This is a big question that we have, which is around Europe and in Japan, they are eating eels, or they did eat eels.

They had an enormous number of really delicious recipes.

But again, we seem to focus very much on the mucus element in them.

So Lucy was just saying that you're not allowed to eat eels anymore.

Is that correct?

We don't know what to feed them.

You mentioned in your introduction that you've been involved in an expedition that went, so trying to track them essentially across to the Azores and then onwards.

So could you describe how we do that and how much success we've had?
