Today I will be tacking about a native eel called long-fin eel here are some facts about the long-fin eel. I chose the long-fin eel from this book if you want to read it Click here
There are 2 native eels in NZ long fin eel and the shortfin eels but I will
be telling you facts about the longfin eel longfin eels .They can live for
35 to 60 years for average but some can live a whopping 100 to more
years if it’s lucky. longfin eel can weigh up to 13 kg . A long fin eels
scientific name is Anguilla dieffenbachii which is a weird name for a
eel.The numbers of Long-fin eels is typical of what is happening to
populations of freshwater eels everywhere . Eel populations are being
less at an fast rate due to habitat loss and over fishing by humans .
That's why they are rare and not much long-fin eels left in the world .
