	Eel - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		True eels (Anguilliformes) are an order of fish, which consists of 4 suborders, 19 families, 110 genera and 400 species.
		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).
		In 1970, Dr. David G. Smith from the University of Miami, identified the larva found as that of the spiny eel, an eel-like fish whose larvae length is equal to its adult length, while the larvae length of the true eel is much shorter than its adult length.

	Gulper eel - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The eel's pouch-like lower jaw resembles that of a pelican, earning it the nickname "pelican eel." It is also sometimes referred to as the "umbrellamouth gulper." The gulper eel's stomach can stretch and expand to accommodate large meals.
		The eel uses a long, whip-like tail for movement, and the end of the tail is luminous to attract prey.
		The gulper eel grows to about two to six feet in length and is found in all of the world's major oceans at depths ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 feet (1–2 km).

	Toronto Zoo > Meet The Animals > Fact Sheet
		Description: Eel-like fish (not a true eel) with electric organs; dorsal and ventral fins absent; anal fin very long, united with caudal fin to form a single fin which does not extend on to the dorsal surface of the body.
		In the electric eel, the organ is arranged in columns of electroplaques which run longitudinally and make up a large portion of the animal's mass.
		Lying motionless in the water, the eel is usually electrically inert but when it begins to move, it emits small direction finding impulses at a frequency of about 50 per second.

		Closely related to the true eel, or anguillid, are the marine moray eels (family Muraenidae) that are frequently maintained by aquarists, and the marine conger eels (family Congeridae), which are occasionally maintained in aquariums.
		The Mastacembelidae, or spiny eels, are found throughout most of Africa, south of the strict desert regions, and throughout southern and southeastern Asia.
		The "standard" spiny eel, Macrognathus aculeatus, is commonly referred to as the porthole eel or the peacock eel.

	Fish - American eel
		The American eel occurs in freshwater rivers and lakes, estuaries, coastal areas and open ocean from the southern tip of Greenland, along the Atlantic coast of North America, throughout the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, to Venezuela, and inland in the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes.
		The eel is an abundant resident of all tributaries to the Chesapeake Bay in its yellow eel phase.
		Now in their yellow eel phase, the American eels will remain in the brackish and fresh waters of these rivers for the majority of their lives–for at least five and possibly as many as twenty years.

	Freshwater Eels and Eel-like Fishes, Families: Anguillidae, Moringuidae, Mastacembelidae, Synbranchidae, and Gymnotidae
		Eels vary in size but the average size of most species is from between 12" to 36" (30 - 90 cm) long.
		Eels only need to be fed a couple of times a week and some may refuse food offered that often, eating only once every two or three weeks.
		Because most eels are naked or have very small scales protecting their bodies it is important that the substrate is soft, such as fine sand and peat.

		The electric organs of the eel are located in its tail, which is roughly 4/5 of the animal's body.
		Like a battery the electric eel has two opposite poles (the head and the tail), and when they discharge, the voltage flows from either the head or the tail.
		The organ in the electric eel that enables it to produce electricity is made up of 5,000 to 6,000 electroplaques (set up much like the cells in a dry battery).

		All of the world's 18 true freshwater eel species belong to the genus Anguilla; all spawn in the ocean, and the eggs hatch into a leaf-like larval stage called a leptocephalus.
		As the glass eels develop pigment, they are called elvers, and the elvers grow into adult eels that grow slowly for between 5 and 25 years in rivers and lakes.
		Professor de Silva is also studying basic aspects of eel biology, including changes in the fatty acid composition of the fish's flesh as it changes from glass eel through elver to adult.

		Hagfish are often called slime eels, but they are only distantly related to eels or any other true fish.
		They are not unusually large (Myxine average 16 inches in length and weigh around four ounces), but most of their other characteristics are radically different from those of true fish, such as the eel or salmon.
		For example, a true eel has a cranium, vertebrae, paired fins, gill arches, jaws and a sensory array that includes eyes, three semicircular canals in the inner ear, and a complex lateral line (a vibration-detection system).

		Schweid (The Cockroach Papers) tries to fill in the gaps in the eel's astonishing natural history and tie that to sketches of fishery traditions, folklore, literary excerpts and reportage (beware the natural history that includes this many ingredients), mostly by focusing on the erratic transatlantic economy that eel supply (here) and demand (there) creates.
		In addition, eels are the only farmed fish that we have been unsuccessful in coaxing to reproduce in captivity.
		These eels reproduce in the open sea, and early development of the young takes place there, but they drift to different fresh water sources to feed and grow to adult sizes, over a period of up to twenty years.
