European Eel (Anguilla anguilla)

Set of scaled elevation drawings of the European Eel

The European eel (Anguilla Anguilla) may be the only nomadic fish among the eel because of the tremendous trip it makes from Europe to Bermuda to spawn. Not only that, but it also shows different life stages: glass eel, Elver, Yellow eel, and Silver eel, each taking place in varied habitats. Like other eels, it possesses a snake-like body, one pair of small pectoral fin, secretive and nocturnal, preferring under rocks, and burrowing into the mud. This catadromous fish belongs to the family Anguillidae, native to the European coast from Russia to Morocco, and is a well-known powerful swimmer and climber.

European Eels have a total length between 24”-39” (61-99 cm) and body height of 1.6”-2.75” (4-7 cm). The typical weight of the European Eel is in the range of 3-8 lb (1.4-3.6 kg). European Eels have lifespans between 15-20 years.

Eels are usually bony fish or ray-finned fish grouped under order Anguilliformes. These animals are nocturnal, predators, migrate, and most species lack scales. Eels are elongated fish that lack the pelvic and pectoral fins with the dorsal and anal fins fused to form a single ribbon along length.
