Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Actinopterygii Subclass: Neopterygii Order: Anguilliformes Suborder: Anguilloidei Family: Anguillidae Genus: Anguilla Schrank, 1798

Anguillidae (鰻鱺科) is a family of fishes that contains the freshwater eels (淡水鳗鱼) (淡水鳗、白鳝、白鳗、河鳗、鳗鲡、青鳝、风馒、日本鳗。). There are 19 species/subspecies in this family, all in genus Anguilla (鳗鲡属) (鳗鱼、白鳝、白鳗、河鳗、鳗鲡、青鳝、风馒、日本鳗。).  Freshwater Eel (淡水鳗鱼) They are catadromous, meaning they spend their lives in freshwater rivers, lakes, or estuaries and return to the ocean to spawn. The young eel larvae, called leptocephali, live only in the ocean and consume small particles called marine snow. They grow larger in size, and in their next growth stage they are called glass eels (玻璃鳗). At this stage they enter estuaries and when they become pigmented they are known as elvers (鳗线). Elvers travel upstream in freshwater rivers where they grow to adulthood. Some details of eel reproduction are as yet unknown, and the discovery of the spawning area of the American and European eels in the Sargasso Sea is one of the more famous anecdotes in the history of Ichthyology. See Eel life history. The spawning areas of some other anguillid eels, such as the Japanese eel, and the giant mottled eel were also discovered recently in the western North Pacific Ocean. 玻璃鳗（glass eel）：在接近沿岸水域时，身体转变成流线型，减少阻力，以脱离强劲洋流。 鳗线（elvers）：进入河口水域时，开始出现黑色素，却也形成养殖业鳗苗的补捉来源。 黄鳗（yellow eel）：在河川的成长期间，鱼腹部呈现黄色。 银鳗（silver eel）：在成熟时，鱼身转变成类似深似深海鱼的银白色，同时眼睛变大，胸鳍加宽，以适应回游至深海产卵。 Bōlí mán (glass eel): the coastal waters near the body into a streamlined, reducing resistance to strong ocean currents from. Mán xiàn (elvers): enter the estuary waters, began to melanoma, but also formed the complement to catch eel aquaculture industry sources. Huáng mán (yellow eel): growing up in the river, fish belly yellow. Yín mán (silver eel): At maturity, the fish into deep as the deep-sea fish like silver, and large eyes, pectoral fins widened to accommodate the migration to the sea to spawn. Freshwater eels are elongate with tubelike, snake-shaped bodies. They have large, pointed heads and their dorsal fins are usually continuous with their caudal fins and anal fins, to form a fringe lining the posterior end of the body. They have small pectoral fins to help them navigate along river bottoms. Their scales are thin and soft. Anguillid eels are important food fish. Eel aquaculture is a fast-growing industry. Important food eel species include longfin eel, Australian long-finned eel, short-finned eel, and Japanese eel. Most eel production historically has been in Japan, Korea and Taiwan, but in recent years the greatest amount of production has been in China. Seafood watch, one of the most well known sustainable seafood advisory lists, recommends that consumers avoid eating anguillid eels due to significant pressures on worldwide populations. Several species used as unagi have seen their population sizes greatly reduced in the past half century. Catches of the European Eel, for example, have declined about 80% since the 1960's. Although about 90% of freshwater eel consumed in the U.S. are farm-raised, they are not bred in captivity. Instead, young eels are collected from the wild and then raised in various enclosures. In addition to wild eel populations being reduced by this process, eels are often farmed in open net pens which allow parasites, waste products, and diseases to flow directly back into wild eel habitat, further threatening wild populations. Freshwater eels are carnivores and as such are fed other wild-caught fish, adding an additional element of unsustainability to current eel farming practices.  Species Anguilla aucklandii 奧克蘭鰻鱺 European eel, Anguilla anguilla Linnaeus, 1758 歐洲鰻鱺; 欧洲鳗 Short-finned eel, Anguilla australis Richardson, 1841 新澳鰻鱺; 澳洲鳗; 黑鳗 Anguilla australis australis  澳洲鰻鱺 Anguilla australis occidentalis 短鰭澳洲鰻鱺 Indian mottled eel, Anguilla bengalensis bengalensis Gray, 1831 孟加拉鰻鱺 African mottled eel, Anguilla bengalensis labiata Peters, 1852 東印度洋鰻鱺 Indonesian shortfin eel, Anguilla bicolor bicolor McClelland, 1844 雙色鰻鱺 Indian shortfin eel, Anguilla bicolor pacifica Schmidt, 1928 太平洋雙色鰻鱺; 二色鰻; 印尼鳗 Anguilla breviceps Chu & Jin 1984 短頭鰻鱺 Celebes longfin eel, Anguilla celebesensis Kaup, 1856 蘇拉威西鰻鱺 New Zealand longfin eel, Anguilla dieffenbachii Gray, 1842 大鰻鱺; 新西兰鳗 Anguilla foochowensis 福州鰻鱺 Highlands longfin eel, .

Anguillidae - Freshwater Eels - Anguilles d'eau douce Freshwater eels are found world-wide in temperate to tropical waters except for the south Atlantic Ocean and the whole eastern Pacific Ocean. There are 16 species with 1 occurring in Canada and the NCR. The term eel-like is based on the body shape of freshwater eels and includes the muscular slipperiness associated with this fish and its mucus-producing skin. Both dorsal and anal fins are long and join the tail fin. The dorsal fin begins well behind the pectoral fin level. There are no pelvic fins and the pectorals, when present, are on mid-flank. Scales are absent or when present small, embedded and cycloid. There is a lateral line. Jaws are strong and toothed. The gill openings are small and just in front of the pectoral fins. The anterior nostril is tubular The life cycle of eels was unknown until Johannes Schmidt published his 1922 study based on years of collecting. Where the adults went on their seaward migration and where the elvers ascending rivers came from were a mystery. These eels are catadromous, living in freshwater but migrating to the sea to spawn and die. In the North Atlantic Ocean spawning occurs in the Sargasso Sea. The young eels or leptocephali (= thin head larvae) are distinctive being transparent and leaf-like. A newspaper can be read through the body of a leptocephalus. In this form they drift to the shores of America and Europe, transform into elvers with the more familiar eel-shape and move into rivers and lakes to feed and grow. The biology of eels is based almost entirely on the freshwater phase of their life. Adults in freshwater develop large eyes, the gut degenerates and coloration changes in preparation for the migration to the Sargasso Sea. Adults were only caught in the deep ocean, at nearly 2000 m near the Bahamas, in 1977. The Sargasso spawning ground is deduced from collections of larvae across the Atlantic Ocean - the smallest and youngest larvae are found around the Sargasso Sea. The spawning grounds are at about 400 m, at a 17°C temperature and in saltier water than usual sea conditions according to some authors but since spawning adults have never been caught this remains dubious. The theory advanced by D. W. Tucker in 1959 maintained that European Eels lack the energy resources in their migratory, spawning phase to reach the Sargasso Sea 7000 km from Europe. They are presumed to be following an instinct to head out to sea, dating from an earlier geological age when the Atlantic Ocean was narrower before the separation caused by Continental Drift. All European Eels die at sea and Europe is restocked by larvae drifting there spawned from American parents. The American populations are closer to the Sargasso and can make the journey easily. Differences between American and European eels are merely the consequence of different environmental regimes in different parts of the Sargasso. This theory has not found general acceptance but, if true, means that all European Eels can be harvested for food without depleting stocks. Eels are valued as food, particularly in Europe and Japan, but are not used as extensively in North America.  http://www.briancoad.com/ncr/Anguillidae.htm

What is the Size of an Eel? Composed of 4 suborders, 19 families, 100 genera and roughly 800 species, the Anguilliformes or Eels are one of the largest orders of fish in the world. In terms of what is the size of an eel, it depends on the species, but their length ranges from 5 centimeters (2.0 inches) to as large as 3.75 meters (12.3 feet). The Anguillidae family of freshwater eels belongs to the suborder Anguilloidei, and is made up of 19 species and subspecies. Among these is Anguilla anguilla, the European eel, which is typically 60 to 80 cm long, though it is known in rare occasions to reach 1 ½ meters in length. Anguilla bengalensis bengalensis, the Indian mottled eel, can grow as long as 1.2 m and weigh up to 6 kilograms. Anguilla bengalensis labiata, the African mottled eel, has an average length of 1.75 m and an average weight of 20 kg. Still part of the Anguillidae family, the Indonesian shortfin eel (Anguilla bicolor bicolor) has an average lifespan of 20 years and grows up to a length of 1.2 m. The New Zealand longfin eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) has a common length of 1.2 m and a common weight of 10 kg, but can, in certain cases, achieve a size of 2 m and weigh more than 50 kg (the female of the species is normally twice longer than the male). The American eel (Anguilla rostrata) holds the world weight record at 9.25 pounds. Of the Moray eels of the Muraenidae family, the smallest would be the Snyder’s Moray (Anarchias leucurus) at 11.5 cm long (4.5 in), while the Slender giant moray (Strophidon sathete) is the longest at 4 m (13 ft). In terms of mass, the largest would be the Giant moray (Gymnothorax javanicus), which can grow up to nearly 3 m (9.8 ft) in length and above 36 kg (79 lbs) in weight. The False morays of the Chlopsidae family are so-named because of their resemblance to the morays, except that they are considerably smaller, ranging in size between 11 to 42 cm (4.3-17 in). Also known as Worm eels, as well as Spaghetti eels, the Moringuidae family ranges in size from around 15 to 140 cm (5.9-55 in). The Mud eels of the Heterenchelyidae family vary in length from 32 to 149 cm (13-59 in). The largest member of the Congroidei suborder’s Congridae family, the European conger (Conger conger) is known to grow up to a length of 3 m (9.8 ft) and weigh 160 kg (350 lbs). The Pike conger of the Muraenesocidae family ranges in length from 60 to 250 cm (2.0-8.2 ft). The Longneck eels of the Derichthyidae family can reach a size of around 60 cm (24 in). The interestingly-named Witch eels or Duckbill eels of the Nettastomatidae family have a maximum length of 125 cm (4.10 ft). The Snake eels of the family Ophichthidae (appropriately taken from the Greek words “ophis” meaning “snake” and “ichthys” meaning fish) average 10 cm (3.9 in) up to 3 m long (9.8 ft). And from the suborder Synaphobranchoidei, the Cutthroat eels of the Synaphobranchidae family range in length from 23 to 160 cm (9.1-63 in). It should be noted that certain other marine creatures usually referred to as eels should not truly be classified as such. For instance, the Electric eel is actually a relative of the catfish, while the Lamprey eel is an aquatic parasite and not even really a fish. At any rate, the rest of the examples given are only a few of the staggering number of suborders, families and species of the Anguilliformes order. http://www.dimensionsguide.com/what-is-the-size-of-an-eel/
