EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, dated circa 1860, captures the intriguing encounter between two distinct species of eels on a city riverbank. The larger eel, identified as a Conger Eel (Mylophitis conger), exhibits its powerful, serpentine body and distinctive elongated pectoral fins. Known for their ability to burrow into the seabed, Conger Eels are apex predators in their marine habitats, reaching impressive sizes up to 1.5 meters in length. In stark contrast, the smaller eel in the foreground is a Sharpnosed Eel (Heterostichus rostratus). With its slender body and distinctively pointed snout, this eel is an excellent swimmer and is often found in brackish waters. Sharpnosed Eels are also known for their unique reproductive behavior, where they transform into an elongated, eel-like male and a rounded, fish-like female. The juxtaposition of these two eel species on the city riverbank is a fascinating reminder of the diverse marine life that once thrived in urban waterways. As the industrial revolution advanced, many rivers became polluted, and the populations of these eels and other aquatic species began to decline. Today, efforts to clean up and restore urban waterways have led to the return of various fish species, including these intriguing eels. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our precious natural resources. The image is a testament to the resilience of these fascinating creatures and the potential for urban waterways to support diverse aquatic life.
