What are Glass Eels (Anguilla Rostrata)?

The American eel (Anguilla rostrata) is a unique, snake-like fish native to North America. These eels live in freshwater bodies like rivers and streams but migrate to the ocean to spawn. Adult eels exhibit a smooth, elongated body, with colors ranging from green to yellowish-brown or dark brown, sometimes almost black.

The Elvers the larval stage of the American eel. Known for their transparent, leaf-like appearance, Glass eels (or leptocephali) are small, pointed-headed creatures with large teeth. These eels undergo a fascinating metamorphosis, transforming from their translucent leptocephalus form into a juvenile glass eel, characterized by its distinct, serpentine shape. Elvers are typically around 55-65mm long at the point of metamorphosis.
