The short finned eel is a 'catadromous' fish. As an adult it migrates out into the Ocean where it spawns/breeds. The young 'elvers' then make their way back into the freshwater rivers and lakes in New Zealand and SE Australia where they feed and grow until they too are adult and then they head back to the Ocean from whence they came to do it all over again.
