Frederich W. Tesch, John Thorpe (Editor), Ray J. White
ISBN: 978-0-632-06389-5
Hardcover
416 pages
September 2003, Wiley-Blackwell
A strong demand for an English version of the third German Edition of this extremely important book paved the way for this excellent new translation, which contains much new information from over 500 publications, not covered by the previous English language edition.
The Eel is the standard work on the species with chapters in the book covering body structure and functions, developmental stages and distribution of the eel species, post-larval ecology and behaviour, harvest and environmental relationships, fishing methods, eel culture, diseases, parasites and bodily damage, the world trade in eels and eel processing. Contributions are included from several world authorities including new information concerning genetic diversity in eel populations and the consequences for their management. |

Eels. Freshwater eels are fish, and belong to the family Anguillidae. Slow growing and long lived, they begin life in the sea, and then spend many years in fresh water as adults. Finally they return to sea to spawn, after which they die.
Excellent resource information. |

Facts about eels
* It is New Zealand's biggest endemic fish, which means it is found nowhere else in the world;
* it has lived in NZ for 80 million years;
*
is possibly the biggest freshwater eel in the world;
* matures at 35 years of age;
*
can live to be over 80 years old;
*
females are bigger than males;
*
have been measured at over 2 metres long and 30 kilograms in weight;
* swims to Tonga, breeds once and then dies;
*
it has rings on an ear bone that tells its age like those of a tree;
*
the slime helps breathing and provides skin protection out of water;
*
its head and eyes change shape in readiness for migration;
*
it has tubular nostrils that stick out in front of its nose to help in hunting;
*
its skin is highly sensitive to help it "see".

The Extensible Embeddable Language
Something a bit different but we at eelman like it...
EEL is a scripting and programming language, designed specifically for hard real time applications. The primary target areas of application are control engineering and audio synthesis, but EEL should also be suitable for game scripting and for adding scripting capabilities to real time multimedia applications.

The electric eel is not a true eel. They are members
of a group of electrical fish that includes the knife
fish and the ghost fish, both of which can also be
seen at the Record Aquarium.

Voltage of an Electric
Eel
SOURCED: http://hypertextbook.com/facts/BarryLajnwand.shtml
The electric eel (Electrophorus electricus), which is
found in South American tropical regions, has the ability
to produce powerful electric charges. The low intensity
charges emitted by the eel range from 5 to 10 V. The
higher intensity charges vary by the size of the eel.
Smaller eels (about 10 cm in length) can produce charges
of up to 100 V. Larger eels (over 1 m in length) can
produce charges of 450 to 650 volts of electricity.
The discharging system of the electric cells was first
explained by a Martins-Ferreira, Altamirano and Keynes
in 1953. |

'Eel
city' found near Samoa |
Use the google search box above to discover more
A unique community of hundreds
of eels has been discovered at the site of an
active, underwater volcano near Samoa.
Researchers from the University of Sydney made
the discovery as they explored the Vailulu˙u volcano
using a manned Pisces V submarine after a new
volcanic cone was found.
"They discovered a number of large communities
of eels inhabiting the fragile cavernous rock
pillars surrounding the hydrothermal vent area,"
senior lecturer in marine science, Dr Adele Pile
said.
Scientists had dubbed the marine hydrothermal
community "Eel City", she said, adding the team
did not know why such an extensive eel community
surrounded the volcano. |

Centre for Fisheries & Aquaculture
Freshwater eels are found in many river systems and
lakes throughout New Zealand. The two native species,
the shortfinned and the endemic longfinned eel, are
distinguished by the length of their dorsal fin, which
is roughly equal to the anal fin in shortfins but
extends well forward towards the head in the longfin.
Historical records report eels of up to 2 m being
caught, but it is rare to find eels longer than 1.5
m nowadays. Eels spend part of their life cycle in
seawater and part in freshwater, with the spawning
grounds of our native eels thought to lie hundreds
of kilometres away in deep ocean trenches near Tonga.
The delicate leptocephalus larvae ride on oceanic
currents back to New Zealand, where they turn into
tiny glass eels just before entering freshwater. Eels
are well adapted to upstream migration, being good
climbers. They have an important ecological role as
top predators in our freshwater once they grow beyond
a metre, feeding on koura, insects and fish. In the
wild, eels reach sexual maturity after 20–50
years and they then migrate back to the tropics to
spawn, after which they die.
