What Wikipedia says

Ernst Johannes Schmidt (2 January 1877 – 21 February 1933) was a Danish biologist credited with discovering in 1920 that European eels migrate to the Sargasso Sea to spawn. Before this, people in North America and Europe had wondered where the small glass eels, or elvers, came from.
