Ophichthidae is a family of fish in the order Anguilliformes, commonly known as the snake eels. The term "Ophichthidae" comes from Greek ophis ("serpent") and ichthys ("fish"). Snake eels are also burrowing eels. They are named for their physical appearance, as they have long, cylindrical, snake-like bodies. [2]

2020年8月2日 · The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a fascinating species, exhibiting a complex life cycle. The species is, however, listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List due to an amalgam of factors, including habitat loss. This study investigated the burrowing behaviour and substrate preference of glass, elver and yellow stages of A ...

2011年4月15日 · To better understand burrowing and subsurface locomotion in anguilliform fish we provide descriptive kinematic data on subsurface locomotion in a burrowing eel (Pisodonophis boro) using videofluoroscopy. We also measured the maximal forces that can be exerted by this species during head-first and tail-first burrowing, and explored the ...

2020年8月1日 · To evaluate the burrowing behaviour of eels, all eels were introduced into aquaria containing either sand or fine gravel (Table 1), and burrowing was recorded using three JVC-HD Everio...

For glass eels and elvers, burrowing is of high importance, but becomes less important as eels increase in size. The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a fascinating species, exhibiting a...
