From Ancient Greece to the 20th century, Aristotle, Freud, and numerous other scholars were all looking for the same thing: eel testicles. Freshwater eels could be found in rivers across Europe, but no one had ever seen them mate and no researcher could find eel eggs or identify their reproductive organs. So how do eels reproduce, and where do they do it? Lucy Cooke digs into the ancient mystery. Lesson by Lucy Cooke, directed by Anton Bogaty

just put freaking tracking collar on them, like the ones that track information and location! then we can travel along the path until we find it, i cant believe no one has tried this on eels yet, we do this on animals like sloths and wolfs! we can easily make a collar for eels!

I assume they grow some after reaching a good place. I mean they change their kidneys so growing a pair ISNT far off
(If a clownfish can change gender and marry children to parents then growing junk to suit the situation shouldnt be too far off)

I live in Macedonia (Europe, and we have eels in our lakes and rivers. In school they taught us that they go in the bermuda triangle area to breed and come back in the lakes trough the seas and rivers just like they showed in the video. So amazing!

Maybe the testicles fall off afterwards or something? Maybe they shrink and fall off when they go back out to sea after enough salt exposure? Idk their kidneys expand.

TED-Ed teaches me more things than school does. Y'know what I learned from school? None. Yet my mom says I don't learn anything on the internet.
reply

Wait, eels will be my future study in aquaculture and you're saying that we dont know how exactly they mate.
I'm screwed.
