Males can reach a maximum total length of {{convert|81|cm|in}}.[3] Due to its wide distribution, lack of known threats, and lack of observed population decline, the IUCN redlist currently lists the Sailfin eel as Least Concern.[5] References1. ^Synonyms of Paraletharchus pacificus at www.fishbase.org. {{Taxonbar|from=Q2632342}}{{Ophichthidae-stub}}2. ^Common names of Paraletharchus pacificus at www.fishbase.org. 3. ^1 Paraletharchus pacificus at www.fishbase.org. 4. ^Osburn, R.
