Eel

The image shown is a representative illustration and does not depict every individual animal in this category.

Total number of species: 16

Eels have an elongated, snake-like body, making them easily recognizable when compared to other bony fish. Their long dorsal fin is merged with its caudal and anal fins, making one continuous fin along the length of its upper body. While they spend most of their adult lives in freshwater, most species migrate to the ocean to spawn.
