The Order Anguilliformes is the order of eels. The three most important are the common eel, the moray eel and the conger. The first of these can be counted as a marine fish, since the sea is where it begins and ends its life, although most of its years are spent in fresh water. The other two are purely marine; but the moray eel belongs to warmer waters than those of the North Atlantic and is not catalogued here.
