By George Campbell Illustrated by Ann Winterbotham In late September after heavy rains, I discovered a most interesting creature in the Sanibel River at the edge of the Bailey Tract: an American Eel, Anguilla bostoniensis syn Rostrata. This snake-shaped fish is about three feet long. It is quite round in the middle, about two and a half inches in diameter and vertically compressed toward the tail. The head and neck are round and the eyes are prominent - about a quarter inch in diameter. The one and a half inch long head has a wide V-shaped mouth about an inch or more in gape. The animal weighs in at five pounds. At first glance the fish seems to be without scales, which is the case with most of the members of the great Eel order, Apodes, which word means without appendages. But Anguillids, as our group of partly freshwater Eels is called, do have imbedded scales that are difficult to detect without careful dissection. Also, they have well-developed pectoral fins as well as long dorsal and anal fins that are continous with the tail, or caudal, fin. I took the specimen, found dead among carcasses of other victims of one of those sometimes hard-to-explain fish kills, to Charles LeBuff, the naturalist who has had the most experience on Sanibel. Sure enough, LeBuff immediately identified the animal and reported that he had encountered Eels on Sanibel before. He said that in the dry periods of 1959 and 1960, Bailey Tract ponds dried up and Eels were visible in numbers sufficient to remind one of a large mess of This large American Eel was found dead at the edge of the Bailey Tract. oversized spaghetti drying and stinking in the mud. He had not seen another until the specimen pictured here turned up. Freshwater Eels are of intense interest and of great economic importance, too, especially on the other side of the Atlantic. There the European Eel, Anguilla anguilla, is the subject of culinary and gastronomical celebration in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Fat adult European Eels are fished in their downstream migration to the sea. I have"~participated in these gastronomic delights in Belgium, where one day you are 1 served green eels and the next day, red ones. In each case it is the same fish - just different colored and different flavored sauces. The American Eel is fished extensively in the Chesapeake region. Hundreds of tons are shipped to Europe each year, where eels are much more appreciated than in the United States. The female European Eel descends to the sea at 12 years of age; males at eight. They head for the mystical Sargasso Sea, a warm water in the Atlantic lying between Bermuda and the Bahamas at about 27 degrees North and 60 degrees West, which is densely grown with pelagic marine algae. It is easy to say that "instinct" tells the Eels where to go, but in fact this ancestral habit has never been ex- plained to my satisfaction. One student has postulated that eons ago, before the continents drifted apart on their tectonic plates, "rivers" connected the present Sargasso breeding site and the adult living sites in European fresh waters. This concept includes the American Eel breeding sites, too Our own closely-related American Eel has a similar 1. habit, also spawning in the Sargasso Sea, The young Eels of both species intermingle in the rich, plant-laden upper waters of the Sargasso after hatching from eggs laid at 1,000 feet or deeper. The life history of the American Eel is interesting and complicated. After passage of some time (exactly how much, I don't know), the European form starts on its three-year journey to the fresh waters of that continent, while our own species continued next page 2B Tuesday, December 7,1982 The ISLANDER First of its kind, man-made osprey nesting site erected in 'Ding' Darling Refuge

Toys Ahoy! Pierrot doll

Larry Hoff's osprey from the Treehouse Gallery

It's that time of year again, when Islanders and visitors shop furiously for that special Christinas gift. Although a comprehensive shopping spree would be an impossible undertaking, The Islander staff went from pillar to post last week to help its readers find a few of the Islands' more unusual gifts. Here's what topped our list: The Treehouse Gallery on Captiva is filled with original metal sculptures that come to life on their perches by Larry Hoff and Linda Ritchie. Bird lovers will find nearly every species in the book there, ranging from the small seabirds to the extra large birds of prey. Gallery owners Sheila and Arthur Tordovsky have also stocked plenty of-holiday items perfect for children and Braided wreath from the Carriage Stop adults alike, such as the hand-painted puppets sent to Captiva by a blind woman who gives life to Mae West and W.C. Fields, Laurel and Hardy and more (about $65 each;. The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation is filled with nature-oriented gift ideas, including a series of handcrafted birdhouses and bird feeders made by SCCF member Al Lloyd ($12.95 and $16). Etched in lucite and perfect as paperweights o bookends, a variety of bird species are captured in the midst of nest-building and feeding their young. An unusual collection of solar music boxes can also be found at the SCCF gift shop, with a choice of tunes including "'Lara's Sailboats from Toys Ahoy! Theme" and "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing." For the pessimistic at heart, SCCF has plenty of storm watch maps in stock, perfect-ior, logging the progress of your favorite hurricane. He Crocodile displays a variety of stuffed animals this year, such as the playful "'Bear Claus and Rudolph" Eet, complete with sled ($65). Exclusive to He Crocodile is a complete set of Silver Palate chocolates, written up most recently by Gourmet Wheel-turned pottery from and Town and Country magazines as the best real chocolate ever (Sweet Sloops, $12; Marblehead Mints, Limited Edition Gallery $14). Phil and Edie Johnson have a complete supply of other Silver Palate tasties, however, including a variety of mustards (orange, basil, tomato herb, sweet and rough and dill - $5), chutney (blueberry, jalapeno chili ana barbecue - $9.50) and cooking vinegars (raspberry, blueberry and tarragon, as wefl as walnut oil - $10.50). Dessert sauces also abound at the lie Crocodile i carmel pecan, grand marnier and fudge - $10). as well as a host of other Crocodile exclusives. Bon appetit! Fans of seamstress Ruth Comes will also be happy to learn that He Crocodile is now showing a new line of hand- appliqued Comes dresses in terry cloth, perfect for the beach and ornamented with your choice of shells ($60 short, $75 long) ^wm^m The kiddies will love Toys Ahoy this year with its new- order of dolls i clowns, John Wayne.

Exquisite, large-as-!if e quail can also be found at Fridays to complete your crystal collection ($190). Last, but not least, we stopped at the Sanibel Gallery, where gallery visitors were buying Jane Valtin's ever- popular,, every-tree-must-have-one 1982 Sanibel Christ- ; mas Ornaments ($5.95). The gallery still stocks a few ornaments from years gone by for the holiday shoppers ; who have a yearning for seahorses- or whelks. Ali the ornaments are handmade by gallery owner Jane Crume Valtin, fired in unglazed porcelain and ready-to-hang with a red ribbon. Other gallery delights include a host of porcelain wind chimes ($30 and up) and the famous Valtin papier*, in- spired by SanibeFs wildlife. The miles were sometimes dusty, always busy, but we discovered through our journey from tip to tip of the Islands that Saoibel and Captiva have some of the best Christmas gift ideas to offer anywhere. We hope our holiday shopping spree helps you find that special gift ycu've been searching for. Happy Holidays!
