European Eel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a species of eel, a snake-like, catadromous fish. They can reach a length of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) in exceptional cases, but are normally around 60-80 cm (2.0-2.6 ft), and rarely reach more than 1 m (3 ft 3 in).

The appearance of European eels varies greatly depending on life stage. As leptocephali, European eels are small, leaflike, and transparent (Deelder, 1970).
