Electric eels are Freshwater Fish only found in the amazon. They can't go anywhere NEAR saltwater. Also the charge they emit from their bodies doesn't provide enough current to affect much more than what they touch.

Can electric eels electrocute themselves?

Electric eels cannot electrocute themselves because their bodies have evolved to handle the electric shocks they generate. Their specialized electrocytes produce electricity, but the electric current is directed outward rather than affecting their own nervous system. Additionally, they have a layer of muscle and skin that helps insulate them from their own electric discharges. This adaptation allows them to use their electric abilities for hunting and self-defense without harm.
