Three different behaviours were modelled: drifting at fixed depth, undergoing a vertical migration or choosing the fastest currents. Simulations included mortality hypotheses to estimate a realistic mean migration duration and relative survival of A. anguilla larvae. The mean migration duration was estimated as 21 months and the mortality rate as 3 center dot 8 per year, i.e. < 0 center dot 2% of A. anguilla larvae may typically survive the trans-Atlantic migration.
