Eels, Anguilliformes, are a variation of teleost fish characterized by long, wormlike bodies. There are over 800 species of Eel that include those such as the European Eel featured in this illustration, freshwater eels, and marine eels such as the Moray. No matter the species, all eels go through multiple stages of growth. They begin in the open ocean with a free-floating dispersal of eggs. These eggs hatch into the prolarval stage of the eel, a leaf-like creature called a Leptocephalus that will float in the surface layers of the ocean for up to two and a half years. They will stay in the upper 1,600 feet of ocean presumably for the availability of food. During this time, they may drift away from the spawning area. When the larva has reached full growth, it will begin a quick metamorphosis where they will grow a more cylindrical body, lose up to 90% of their weight, and go through many other changes of their form. These include changes to their dorsal fin, anal locations, loss of larval teeth, and the rounding of their snouts. This metamorphosis will take place in the open ocean before the now juvenile eels will begin to migrate to the areas their physical features have adapted for. The Anguilla eels are known to migrate during October through March to Europe, moving to more temperate regions in the spring. It can take up to 10 years before the juvenile Eel reaches full maturity. These mostly carnivorous creatures will dine on bottom-living animals until they have reached full maturity. Tropical eels will reach maturity much faster than others. Researchers have found it hard to study much of this development from egg to adulthood. The most researched Eel is the European freshwater eel. In this species, they will undergo many changes through sexual neutrality, feminization, and juvenile hermaphroditism before they will become either fully male or female. The end gender is often determined by environmental factors. These solitary creatures will undergo migrations to their original spawning sites to begin this cycle once more. During adulthood, some eels will burrow using a pointed tail and a backwards motion. Eels such as the Moray and Conger will live in rock crevices and even others, like garden eels, will form huge colonies living in tropical reef areas. An eel diet will consist of a carnivorous range of small fish, crabs, shrimp, sea urchins, and, at times, other eels. Many species of eel eat in various ways. The Snowflake eel possessed blunt teeth used to grind prey with shells such as mollusks and crabs. Others, like the Moray eels, have sharp, pointed teeth more adapted to catching and holding live prey and have even been seen cooperatively hunting for food with grouper fish. The Gulper eel, also known as the pelican eel or umbrella mouth gulper, have very small teeth, but large, open mouths that are used to scoop up their prey. Due to their small teeth, they will aim for smaller prey but can consumer larger creatures.
