There are 800 species of eels. Female eels lay 4 million eggs. Eels from Europe and America swim to the same sea so it is possible that American and European eels could be related. Eels are somewhat mysterious and not that much is actually known about them. Eels live in fresh water until they become adults and then they swim to salt water and ultimately the Sargasso Sea. They are considered a food delicacy by some (even the larva, known as glass eels).
