? White eels and eels are well-known fish species, which are well-known all over the country. There is a very close relationship between the two, the appearance of this kind of fish is more prominent, their body is slender, the overall shape is similar to the shape of the snake. Although white eels and eels are closely related, they are not exactly the same. This is because the two categories are not exactly the same.
Specifically, the category to which the white eel belongs is the genus Anguilla of the family Anguilla of the order Anguilla, and the scope referred to is relatively small, referring only to this kind of fish. But eels are different. They contain many species. This is because all the fish in the order of eels can be collectively referred to as eels, and white eels are naturally included in them. It can be seen that although white eels and eels are related, they can not be confused.
between eel and eel? As mentioned above, there are both connections and differences between eel and eel. The biggest difference between white eels and eels is that they contain more or less species, not exactly the same. Compared with the two, the former contains fewer species, while the latter contains more species, because the latter contains all species in the whole eel order, and the former is only one species in one family and one genus. Because the range of white eels is smaller and there are fewer varieties, white eels can be called eels.
On the whole, eels are distributed all over the world, and different species live in different regions. Overall, there are hundreds of species. Among these hundreds of species, the white eel is one of the more representative species. Therefore, in some places, the white eel will also be used as the name of the eel, or its alias, at this time, the scope of the two references is the same. However, from the perspective of strict classification, it is not scientific to confuse the two.
