Brazil’s government risks fuelling the climate and biodiversity crisis by offsetting the fertilizer shortage resulting from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine this year (J. Liu et al. Nature 604, 425 (2022); S. Osendarp et al. Nature 604, 620–624; 2022). To produce an alternative fertilizer, it plans to mine up to 12 million tonnes annually of rhodoliths taken from an area in the South Atlantic that is roughly the size of the United Kingdom (see go.nature.com/3yhiyio).A full list of co-signatories to this letter appears in Supplementary Information.

The Sargasso Sea was identified as the spawning area of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) 100 years ago, and numerous subsequent surveys have verified that eel larvae just a week old are regularly recorded there. However, no adult eels or eel eggs have ever been found, leaving room for alternative hypotheses on the reproduction biology of this enigmatic species. Chang et al.1 theorize about an area along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as a potential spawning ground. The main argument for this hypothesis was that the chemical signature found in eel otoliths would indicate that early stage larvae had been exposed to a volcanic environment, such as the one present along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Since this correlation was solely based on a mis-interpretation of cited literature data, no new, conclusive information to pinpoint the Mid-Atlantic Ridge as an additional or even alternative spawning area was presented by Chang et al.For more than 100 years, the life history of Atlantic eels remains a matter of scientific debate. In a recent paper by Chang and colleagues, published in Scientific Reports (Sci Rep 10, 15981 (2020)), it is hypothesized that the spawning areas of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and the American eel (A. rostrata) are located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at longitudes between 50° W and 40° W1. This area lies outside the Sargasso Sea, which has so far been widely assumed to be the spawning region of both species since the beginning of the twentieth century2. The Danish researcher Johannes Schmidt collected eel leptocephali 30 mm long or less, some as short as 9 mm, all south of 30° N and west of 50° W3,4. Since then, Schmidt’s assumption was supported by a number of investigations that found recently hatched European eel larvae ( More

The whiskers of seals are known to function as vibration receptors. Earlier experiments with blindfolded harbour seals in captivity have for example revealed that the animals can detect small water movements, and follow the hydrodynamic trails created by passing objects. But it is unclear if seals in the wild actively use this ability to find prey.
