American Glass Eel (Anguilla Rostrata)
The American eel is a smooth, snake-like fish that lives in rivers, streams and other freshwater areas. American eels are elongated fish that can vary in color from green or yellowish-brown to a darker shade of almost black.
The leptocephalus (glass eel) is the larval form of the American glass eel, a stage strikingly different from the adult form the eels will grow into. Leptocephali are transparent with a small pointed head and large teeth and are frequently described “leaf-like”. We offer up to 6000 piece a pound. Very young and very healthy Glass Eels, growth has been evaluated at about 0.21 to 0.38 mm per day.
Glass eel or leptocephali metamorphose into glass eels (juveniles), which are transparent and possess the typical elongate and serpentine eel shape. The term glass eel refers to all developmental stages between the end of metamorphosis and full pigmentation. Metamorphosis occurs when leptocephali are about 55 to 65 mm long.
