  Eel - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Only the Anguillidae family comes to fresh water to dwell there (not to breed).
Some eels dwell in deep water (in case of family Synaphobranchidae, this comes to a depth of 4,000 m), or are active swimmers (the family Nemichthyidae - to the depth of 500 m).
Depending on their species, eels can reach from 10 cm to 3 m, and weigh up to 65 kg.

 IngentaConnect Northward range extensions of some mesopelagic fishes in the Nort...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Six of the species have not previously been recorded that far north, and the other 13 only rarely in adjacent waters.
The species were of the following families: Stomiidae (four species), Microstomatidae (one species), Bathylagidae (one species), Opisthoproctidae (one species), Myctophidae (four species), Evermannellidae (one species), Nemichthyidae (one species), Derichthyidae (two species), Melanonidae (one species), Melamphaidae (one species), and Chiasmodontidae (two species).
We discuss whether these range extensions are real and attributable to the recent ocean warming, or only apparent, caused by increased sampling effort.
