Scientific Name: (Short finned eel - Anguilla australis) Freshwater eels (tuna) are found in many river systems and lakes throughout New Zealand. The two native species, the shortfinned and the endemic longfinned eel, are distinguished by the length of their dorsal fin.
American Eels are long, narrow, snake-like fish. They can grow to almost five feet long. The color of these eels depends on their age and habitat. Older eels are usually dark brown or greenish, with yellowish-white bellies.
