As for European eels I find it interesting that the adults tend to follow the Canary current south from Europe because they come out close to shore, get picked by the equatorial current and deposited in the gyre called the Sargasso Sea. Then some of the larvae get picked up by the gulf stream current going north and then this current runs into the north Atlantic current and that runs straight into Europe.
Ever thought that these eels don't know where the fuck they're going? Some end up in the ocean and are swept to a place where breeding environment's right. Some of the larvae get swept up in the northern bound current and end up back where their parents came from. Some swim up rivers to fresh water lakes where there aren'y nearly as many predators, and the rest get eaten.
