American
Eel
The American eel does a lot of going back and forth between spawning areas and adult hood areas. Dams and turbines are a big problem when they are traveling. An eel can get killed, maimed, electrocuted or just cut off from it's spawning section in the Saragasso Sea. This is causing it to go extinct.
