Eels belong to the order Synbranchiformes, family Synbranchidae, and genus Monopterus. Also known as yellow eel, shan fish, luoe fish, or snake fish. The order Synbranchiformes comprises about 15 species of slender, eel-like fish. Two species are found in China: the common yellow eel, and the mountain yellow eel, which is currently only distributed in Longchuan County, Yunnan Province, and not found elsewhere in the country. They are not closely related to the order Anguilliformes but are more closely related to the order Perciformes. They inhabit tropical freshwater or brackish water environments. Their bodies are about 20–70 cm (8.28 inches) long, scaleless or with very small scales, with low dorsal and anal fins that extend around the tail end and connect. Gills usually have only one external gill opening at the throat. Some species have very small gills and rely on oxygen absorbed through the mucous membranes of the throat or gut. In the East, they are valued as edible fish and are often raised in ponds or rice fields.
