it was only in in 1959 that Denys Tucker discovered that European eels, having spent maybe a decade or two living it up in the sophisticated lakes and waterways of that debauched continent, all die without ever being able to make it back to the Sargasso Sea to spawn, leaving the work of creating the next generation to their American cousins

"No eel marked in Europe has ever been recovered from the Sargasso Sea" is an incredibly poignant line.
