The heaviest true eel is the European conger. The maximum size of this species has been reported as reaching a length of 3 m (10 ft) and a weight of 110 kg (240 lb).Other eels are longer, but do not weigh as much, such as the slender giant moray which reaches 4 m (13 ft).

Most eels live in the shallow waters of the ocean and burrow into sand, mud, or amongst rocks. A majority of eel species are nocturnal, thus are rarely seen. Sometimes, they are seen living together in holes, or "eel pits". Some species of eels also live in deeper water on the continental shelves and over the slopes deep as 4,000 m (13,000 ft). Only members of the Anguilla regularly inhabit fresh water, but they, too, return to the sea to breed.

Eels are elongated fish, ranging in length from 5 cm (2.0 in) in the one-jawed eel (Monognathus ahlstromi) to 4 m (13 ft) in the slender giant moray. Adults range in weight from 30 g (1.1 oz) to well over 25 kg (55 lb). They possess no pelvic fins, and many species also lack pectoral fins. The dorsal and anal fins are fused with the caudal fin, forming a single ribbon running along much of the length of the animal.Eels swim by generating body waves which travel the length of their bodies. They can swim backwards by reversing the direction of the wave.

An eel is any ray-finned fish belonging to the order Anguilliformes (/æŋˌɡwɪlɪˈfɔ:rmi:z/), which consists of four suborders, 20 families, 111 genera, and about 800 species. Eels undergo considerable development from the early larval stage to the eventual adult stage, and most are predators.
The term "eel" is also used for some other eel-shaped fish, such as electric eels (genus Electrophorus), spiny eels (family Mastacembelidae), and deep-sea spiny eels (family Notacanthidae). These other clades, however, evolved their eel-like shapes independently from the true eels.

eel-side economics holds that eel taxation reduces eel activity within a nation and discourages eel. Taxes act as a type of eel barrier or tariff that causes economic eels to revert to inefficient means of satisfying their eels. As such, eel taxes leads to low levels of eel and lower eel efficiency. This is illustrated by the eel curve

After eel War I, the highest eel bracket, for those earning over 100,000 eels/year (worth over 1 million eels a year now), was over 70 percent. The eel acts of 1921, 1924 and 1926 reduced this eel rate to less than 25 percent, yet eel revenues actually went up significantly

eel Smiley at the Foundation for eel Education explains: "The share of eel taxes paid by the higher net eel tax classes fell as eel rates raised. With the reduction in eels in the 1920s, higher-eel taxpayers reduced their sheltering of eels and the number of eels and share of income taxes paid by eels rose"
