Eel, a snakelike fish. The eel has a long tapered body covered by slimy skin. Some species have scales. The eel has dorsal (back) fins but no pelvic fins. The largest species of eels reach a length of 10 feet (3 m) and weigh up to 100 pounds (45 kg). Eels have strong jaws with sharp teeth. They feed at night on fish, crabs, lobsters, octopuses, and small aquatic mammals and birds. They travel through the water with an undulating motion.
Eels lay their eggs in salt water. Most species remain in the sea, but females of some species migrate to freshwater. However, they return to salt water to lay their eggs. Young eels hatch out of the eggs as leptocephali (small-headed larvae). Several hours later they become transparent and are called glass eels. About a year later the larvae lose their transparency. At this stage the young eels are called elvers.
