The habits of eels are quite special. They have migratory habits, but unlike most migratory fish, eels will be in the seawater when they reproduce. After they lay eggs, they will enter In fresh water. Therefore, most eels live in waters where fresh water and salt water meet. Most of the world's eels live in temperate and tropical areas. Most of the eels live in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Only a few European eels and American eels live in the Atlantic Ocean.

There are also some species of eels in our country, mainly distributed in the Yangtze River, Minjiang River, Pearl River, Hainan Island and other areas. There are many species of eels, and the habits and distribution ranges of different species are also different. Eels like to live in clean, refreshing waters. They have migration habits, but they are different from other migratory fish. They grow in fresh water and migrate to seawater to lay eggs when they reach adulthood. Their migration method is called downriver migration. Eels only spawn once in their lifetime, and they die after spawning.
