		One conger eel, however, is known to grow up to 3 m (9 ft) long and is found as deep as 250 m (820 ft) in the ocean.
		These eels, which are the most important as food and are often sold live in markets, have dense capillary systems close to the skin that can absorb oxygen directly from air or water.
		The conger eel is classified as Conger conger, the European eel is classified as Anguilla anguilla, and the American eel is classified as Anguilla rostrata.

	Eel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		True eels are fish of the order Anguilliformes that 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).
		Freshwater eels (unagi) and marine eels (Conger eel, anago) are commonly used in Japanese cuisine.

	Eel life history - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eel migration out of the Baltic Sea through the Danish belts was the basis of traditional fisheries with characteristic trapnets (Bundgarn).
		New high-tech eel aquaculture plants are appearing in Asia with detrimental effects on the native Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica.
		Because the eels are catadromous (living in fresh water but spawning in the sea), dams and other river obstructions can block their ability to reach inland feeding grounds.

	Eel
		In the common American eel the dorsal fin originates far behind the pectorals, this character is enough to distinguish it from the conger, from which it also differs in that the lower jaw projects beyond the upper or at least equals it in length, and its eyes are small and round.
		The eel, however, has a pointed snout, like the conger, a large mouth gaping back as far as the middle of the eye or past it; and its gill slits are set vertically on the sides of the neck, their upper corners abreast of the center of the base of the pectoral fin.
		Examples of long journeys by eels upstream, in New England rivers, are to the Connecticut Lakes, New Hampshire, at the head of the Connecticut River; to the Rangeley Lakes at the head of the Androscoggin, and to Matagamon Lake, at the head of the East Branch of the Penobscot.

		Eels lack the hind pair of fins, adapting them for wriggling in the mud and through the crevices of reefs and rocky shores.
		When the eels are sexually mature their enormous appetite wanes, and they do not eat during migration to the spawning ground.
		Eels are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Osteichthyes, order Anguilliformes.

	Eel Farming in Taiwan
		Eel farming is at the top of the fishery industry in terms of export value.
		Eel culture in Taiwan can be in the form of a nursery operation, raising newly transformed elvers of Anguilla japonica to fingerlings, in the form of a production operation, raising fingerlings to market size eels, or a combination of the two.
		Because eels are a mild animal and their reproduction occurs only in the sea, they will not threaten the existence of other species in the same habitat provided that the farm eels escape into the wild.

	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.

		Habitat and Range: The electric eel is native to South America and found in the rivers of the Guyanas, the Orinoco River system, and in the waters of the middle and lower Amazon basin.
		Because the water that the electric eel lives in is poor in oxygen, it must occasionally come to the surface for air.
		Where the electric eel breeds is still a mystery, but it is believed that the young are hatched from eggs.

	Maryland Marine Notes: May-June 2001 Spotlight - American Eel: Biology, Mystery, Management
		Eels have intrigued people since the time of Aristotle, who hypothesized that they were created from mud due to their appearance in lakes that were previously dry.
		Glass eels are transparent and two to three inches in length – they travel into fresh water streams and migrate up-river, gaining their yellow/green pigmentation as they grow.
		He found that the eels were not only able to survive this abrupt change in salinity, but were able to find their way back to where they were originally captured.

		Eel live in fresh water for 15 to 20 years, then head for the ocean when they are ready to breed, changing from a yellowish green to a silver color as they go.
		Because the American eel population is also in decline, some scientists believe the real problem may be changes in ocean currents due to global warming or a parasite or virus that has infected the breeding zone.

		Eels can be found ranging in size anywhere from inch-long elvers to the conger eel which can be as long as 10 feet, weighing in at 170 pounds.
		Eel is also sold pre-skinned and butterflied or filleted, but the freshness may be compromised if you can't verify how long the eel has been dead.
		Eel should not be eaten raw and is best served with an acidic sauce (using lemon, vinegar, capers, or tomatoes) to counter the rich meat.

	Bento.com Japanese cuisines - unagi (eel)
		The cooking process is what makes the eel both crisp and tender: The eels are first grilled over hot charcoals, then steamed to remove excess fat, then seasoned with a sweetish sauce and grilled a second time.
		In the Kansai area (around Osaka) the steaming step is omitted and the eel is grilled longer, burning off the excess fat and producing an even crisper skin.
		As for the eels themselves, the best are caught wild rather than bred in eel farms, with the ideal size between 30 and 50 centimeters (12-20 inches).

	Improve your eel farm
		In the case of the eel, unequal growth of individuals associated with the "grading problem", - is of great economical importance: 30-35 percent of elvers are either discarded because of slow growth or held over to the next growing season in the hope that growth will ‘pick up’.
		Clustering of eels in culture tanks during daylight near heating and air pipes is also a common sight interpreted generally by the same argument or "as being gregarious”.
		Better understanding of the causes of the eels’ aggressive behavior facilitated a design of a rearing tank in which development of size variation is minimized due to the decrease in frequency of aggressive interactions.

		Eel grass began dying in August, leaving whole beds, such as the Poquoson Flats near Hampton, which had earlier been carpeted with more than 2,100 acres of eel grass, devoid of grass and the baby crabs that depend on finding shelter there.
		The connection with eel grass is particularly important because the vulnerable crab larvae from each season's spawn hides from predators in eel-grass beds.
		Eel grass, along with a companion species, widgeon grass, which apparently is not affected by the eel-grass die-off, covered about 33,000 acres of the bay's bottom last year, Orth said.

	eel
		When they reach maturity, the eels congregate on the bottom of their river and forming a writhing ball, they change from being brown river eels to silvery fl eels, ready to re-enter the environment of their youth.
		On the wildest of autumn nights, when the rivers are in full flood, the transformed 'Silver' eels begin the descent of the rivers to start their migration back to the very sea weed that they began life on.
		We recommend that you skin the eel, peeling it like a banana, then slice it thinly lengthwise; with a spoon, scrape the jelly and oil from the inside of the skin and serve with the sliced eel.

		The electric organs of the eel are located in it's 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).
