Male eels, also known as “small” eels, typically reach maturity at a much smaller size than females. When a male eel is ready to mate, he will often engage in a complex courtship ritual, which involves swimming alongside a female eel and performing a series of intricate movements. If the female is receptive, she will release pheromones, which signal to the male that she is ready to mate.
Eel larvae, also known as leptocephali, are tiny, transparent fish that drift in the ocean currents. As they grow, they undergo a series of physical transformations, eventually developing into glass eels, which are small, slender fish that begin to migrate upstream into freshwater environments. As they mature, they become yellow eels, which are the familiar, snake-like fish we often associate with eels. Animal Sex - Eel Anal.mpg
