Known as the Gill Oxygen Limitation (GOL) theory, it has been proposed as the universal mechanism explaining fish size and has been used in some predictions of future global fisheries yields.

Japanese researchers have captured an eel escaping from the stomach of a fish through its gills. While there have been other digestive tract escapes from animals, this is the first to be captured ...

After being swallowed alive, Japanese eels were able to escape from a predator fish’s stomach and swim to freedom through the fish’s gills, new research shows.

Thirteen of the eels managed to get their tails out via the gills, and nine successfully escaped. The escapees took an average of 56 seconds to fully remove themselves from the fish.
