Do the Great Lakes have eels?

They remain in the Great Lakes for several years or more before returning to the Atlantic Ocean to reproduce. Males are thought to remain near the ocean's coast, so the vast majority, if not all, of the eels in the Great Lakes are females. Secretive and nocturnal, they are rarely encountered.
