The body of the moray eel is long and cylindrical, with a flattened tail. The tail is longer than the sum of the length of the head and trunk. The head is long and pointed. The eyes are oval. The mouth is large, and the tongue is attached to the bottom of the mouth. The maxillary teeth are strong and sharp, in 3 rows; there are 10 to 15 large flattened teeth in the middle of the vomer.

The body is scaleless, with 140 to 153 lateral line holes. The dorsal and anal fins are connected to the caudal fin. The body is yellowish brown, and large individuals have a dark brown stripe on each side along the base of the dorsal fin. There are 142 to 154 vertebrae. The feeding intensity is higher from July to September. Conger eels have obvious migration phenomena.

The reproductive period of sea eels is from April to July. The number of eggs is 1.8 to 1.2 million. The eggs are spherical, with a diameter of 1.64 to 1.67 mm. The development of fry and juveniles is significantly metamorphosed, and the transformation from a frond to a young eel is completed in about 15 days at a water temperature of 20℃, at which time the body length is about 70 mm. Adult fish are generally about 600 mm long and weigh 1 to 1.5 kg.

edible

Conger eel meat is thick, fine, delicious, and high in fat. It can be eaten fresh, made into salted dried products, or canned. Conger eel meat is mixed with other fish meat to make fish balls and fish sausages, which are more delicious and elastic. The dried product "eel roe" and dried conger eel maw are both good edible products.

Nutritional analysis

1. Eel is rich in various nutrients, and has the effects of nourishing blood, removing dampness, and resisting tuberculosis. It is a good nutritional product for patients with long-term illness, weakness, anemia, tuberculosis, etc.

Muraenesocidae

Moray Eel

A general term for the order Anguilla and the family Conger. There are about 8 genera and 14 species. The body length is generally about 0.5 to 1.5 meters, and the largest can reach 2 meters. The body is slender, the trunk is nearly cylindrical, the tail is relatively flattened, and there are no scales. The mouth is large, the upper and lower jaws are elongated, and there are strong and sharp teeth. The gill openings are wide. The dorsal, anal and caudal fins are connected, and the pectoral fins are well developed. Distributed in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and distributed along the coast of China.

Living habits

The main food is shrimp, crab, small fish and seal. The spawning period is generally from March to July, with a carrying capacity of about 1.8 to 1.2 million eggs. The spawning grounds are mostly in mud or muddy sand. Among the fish of the family Conger, the conger eel and the mountain conger eel are the most numerous and have the largest production, and are important edible economic fish. The meat is tender and high in fat; the swim bladder can be used as fish maw, which is a precious food. In addition to being sold fresh, it can also be made into various canned foods or processed into eel jerky, which is a best-selling food.

Taxonomy

Conger eel, economic fish; fierce carnivorous fish. Osteichthyes, Anguilliformes, Anguillidae, Conger eel.

Species distribution

There are 5 species in 2 genera in China: The conger eels and mountain conger eels of the genus Anguilla have no transverse teeth on the lower jaw, and the conger eels have 140 to 153 lateral line holes, which are distributed in all seas in China; the mountain conger eels have 128 to 134 lateral line holes, which are only distributed in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. The crane conger eels and the original crane conger eels have outward transverse teeth on the lower jaw, and the head length of the crane conger eels is about 4.1 times the length of the pectoral fins, which are only distributed in the South China Sea; while the head length of the original crane conger eels is about 3.2 times the length of the pectoral fins, which are distributed in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. The slender-jawed eels of the genus Anguilla have laterally flattened bodies, with tails shorter than the combined length of the head and trunk, small vomerine teeth, and anterior nostrils that are not short tubular. They are distributed in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.

Morphological characteristics

The body is long and cylindrical, with a flat tail. The tail is longer than the sum of the head and trunk lengths.

Moray Eel

Body is scaleless, with 140 to 153 lateral line holes. Dorsal and anal fins are connected to the caudal fin. Body is yellowish brown, large individuals have a dark brown stripe on each side along the base of the dorsal fin. There are 142 to 154 vertebrae. Fierce carnivorous fish. Swims quickly. Inhabits muddy or sandy muddy bottom sea areas with a depth of 50 to 80 meters. Most of them live in mud caves, often go out to forage when the waves are big and the water is turbid, and are more active in the evening and early morning. Like to eat shrimps, crabs, fish and squid. The feeding intensity is higher from July to September. The reproductive period is from April to July. The egg-carrying capacity is 1.8 to 1.2 million. Oval, with an egg diameter of 1.64 to 1.67 mm. The development of larvae and juveniles undergoes significant metamorphosis, and the transformation from a frond to an elver takes about 15 days at a water temperature of 20°C, at which time the body length is about 70 mm. Adults are generally about 600 mm long and weigh 1 to 1.5 kg.

Group

There is a clear phenomenon of migration. In the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, China's coastal waters can be divided into three groups. The first group is the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea.

The upper teeth help catch prey

The first group of fish migrates between the wintering grounds southwest of Jeju Island and Haizhou Bay and Bohai Sea. They enter Haizhou Bay and head north in May and June, and migrate southeast after October. The second group is the fish that migrates between the Yangtze River estuary and the wintering grounds southwest of Jeju Island. The third group is the fish that migrates north and south along the Zhejiang coast, and the number of fish is relatively large. There is a very complex phenomenon of seasonal overlap between these three fish groups. The fish distributed in the South China Sea only migrate for a short distance in season.

Predation method

Most fish catch their prey by opening their mouths, sucking the prey in, and then

Radiographs show the inner jaws of a moray eel as it captures its prey.

The moray eel uses the bones in its pharynx to process them. But the moray eel is different from these fish. When the moray eel hunts, it approaches its prey at lightning speed and clamps it with its toothed jaws. Almost at the same time, the aggressive inner jaws hidden in the back of the throat jump out, pounce on the prey, and drag it into its stomach. The moray eel's swallowing method is unique.

The moray eel is the only creature ever discovered that eats in this special way. Interestingly, this is very similar to the way the alien monsters in "Alien" hunt. Eating is an extremely important part of biological survival and a way for one creature to really stay away from other creatures that compete with it.

Edible value

Conger eel meat is thick, fine, delicious, and high in fat. It can be eaten fresh, made into salted, dried or canned products.

The conger eel meat is mixed with other fish meat to make fish balls and fish sausages, which are more delicious and elastic. The dried eel fish and dried conger eel maw are both good edible products.
