Reply to comment by SuspiciousPebble in Almost 100 years since being initially proposed, the location of adult European eels' breeding place (upon their 5-10,000 km migration across the Atlantic Ocean) has been demonstrated directly as the Sargasso Sea for the first time. by Litvi
Barnacle geese were thought to come from barnacles because they breed in the Arctic in the summer, so nobody saw any eggs.
Also so they could be considered fish and eaten on Fridays.

I always wondered why they didn't classify ducks as fish, but if they had barnacle geese already, why push it?
And before you say "ducks aren't fish, that's ridiculous", they classified beavers as fish...
