Eels (Anguilliformes; /wlfrmiz/) are an order of fish which consists of four suborders,
20 families, 111 genera and about 800 species. Most eels are predators. The term "eel" (originally
referring to the European eel) is also used for some other similarly shaped fish, such as electric
eels and spiny eels, but these are not members of the Anguilliformes order.
