โฆ Synopsis
The invasion of glass-eels Anguillu species into coastal waters of Eastern Australia is described from the results of sampling as well as a review of pertinent literature. A . reinhardtii has a yearround invasion in tropical and sub-tropical waters while A. uustralis has a similar invasion pattern in temperate waters. The former species is most abundant in latitudes 2 0 -3 4 O S with the 1att)rr species most abundant in latitudes 35-44O S. A . australis glass-eels were longer and heavier than those of A . reinhardtii. The recorded distribution and abundance patterns are discussed in terms of rainfall regimes and the movements of inshore currents.
