  abstract = {{G}lass eel abundances are declining worldwide, {T}his has mostly been attributed to direct impacts of human activities such as overfishing or habitat loss and degradation, whilst the potential influence of changes in oceanic conditions has received less attention. {E}el are characterized by a complex and still enigmatic life cycle that includes a trans-oceanic spawning and larval migration. {T}he apparent synchrony in the decline of eel populations worldwide suggests that the oceanic mechanisms involved are similar for all populations. {W}e analyse the relationships between oceanic conditions in eel spawning areas and glass eel recruitment success of the 3 most commercially important species of the genus {A}nguilla: {A}. anguilla, {A}. rostrata, and {A}. japonica. {W}e provide evidence that the survival of eel larvae is strongly correlated with food availability during their early life stages. {O}ver the last 4 decades, changes in the marine production related to global warming may have led to the decline of {E}uropean, {A}merican and {J}apanese eel populations. {I}n the {P}acific and {A}tlantic {O}ceans, the shifts in the temperature regime detected in the late 1970s were followed by shifts in the recruitment regime of glass eel for the 3 species. {T}he decrease in primary production through climate-driven processes has therefore affected the recruitment of eel populations.},
