We assessed the effects of starvation, body size, and water temperature on the onset of metamorphosis in leptocephali of Japanese eel ( Anguilla japonica Temminck and Schlegel, 1846) as determined by the morphological criteria of proportion, preanal length, and body depth to total length. Leptocephali of mean total length 55.6 mm that had been reared in captivity for 241 days from hatching were divided into unfed (n = 28) and fed (n = 30) groups in triplicate and reared for an additional 2 weeks. The mean percentage of larvae starting metamorphosis within 2 weeks was significantly higher in the unfed than in the fed groups (70% vs. 28.6%), suggesting that food deprivation acted as a cue for metamorphosis. The critical size for metamorphosis was a total length of 50–55 mm; smaller larvae did not start metamorphosis even in the absence of food, whereas larvae reaching that critical size were induced to undergo metamorphosis by starvation. The start of metamorphosis under unfed conditions was independent of diel-varying water temperature (day 23 °C; night 21–29 °C), suggesting a high plasticity in response to a wide range of environmental temperatures. These findings suggest methods for the efficient production of glass eels, as well as new insights into the mechanism of eel metamorphosis.
