The family Anguillaceae is a representative species, also known as the gray eel. Among the largest species of eels in the family Anguillaceae, a 1.86-metre eel weighs 13 kilograms, and the species can grow up to 2.2 metres and 1.5 metres is not uncommon. Only Congresox talabonoides, the largest 2.5 metres, can surpass it. Record. The eel is a typical ambush predator, and they burrow in the sand. He likes to eat anchovy and other small mid-upper fishes, but also preys on benthic small fishes, crustaceans, cephalopods and bivalves. There is convergence between the skull of the eel and the prehistoric spinosaur.They are ideal for catching smaller fish, but the large teeth in the middle of the maxilla of the eel are more lethal and seem to cut off its prey (which should be fixed, in fact).English colloquial names also reflect this feature, Daggertooth pike conger.
The eel usually inhabits shallow sea sandy land with a depth of less than 100 meters. During the breeding season, the eel breeds in the deepest depths of 800 meters. The population in the Seto Inland Sea breeds in June-October, while in China, it breeds in April-July. Generally 3 to 9 years of sexual maturity, the longest life span can be up to 15 years, it is unknown whether the reproduction only once in a lifetime. It is widely distributed from the Inland Sea to the Seto Sea in the north, to the Red Sea in the west, to northern Australia in the south, and even to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal.

It is dangerous to catch eels by fishing. They will hop like ordinary fish instead of crawling like other eels and bite everything they can reach.。 The annual catch exceeds 300,000 tons and shows no sign of decreasing. The main producing area is China, which accounted for more than 230,000 tons in 1999. The seedlings can be caught for pond culture, especially mixed with shrimp and shellfish to remove the sick and weak individuals.。 However, although the catch of eels in China is increasing, the population structure is unbalanced and the resources are declining. Conservation grade has not been assessed, but as an important domestic economic fish, it should be protected.
