    What a complete waste of an article.

    Until recently, nobody knew how eels reproduce. On August 14, 2021, TikTok user ColeTheScienceDude published a video named We Don’t Know Where Eels Come From.

    Peak journalism.

    After decades of speculation, researchers have successfully tracked European eels back to their breeding grounds in the Sargasso Sea, following their journeys thousands of kilometers along one of nature’s most incredible animal migrations.

    That shit has been known for years to decades and not only in scientific circles. Go ask your local fishermen if they know where eels breed. Theres a quite high chance they will tell you about the Sargasso sea.

    The only good thing about this article is, that it provided the link ti The original Paper (dont know which it is exactly since u didnt have the time looking at it:
