It has a long snake-like cylindrical body with its dorsal, tail and anal fins joined to form one long fin. It usually has a brownish green or olive green back and sides with small darker spots or blotches all over its body. Its underside is paler.[1] It has a small gill opening on each side of its wide head, with thick lips. It is Australia's largest freshwater eel, and the female usually grows much larger than the male.[1][2] It is also known as the spotted eel. DescriptionLong-finned eels can grow to 1.6 metres and 22 kg (although generally to 1 metre) for females while males are much smaller at 650 mm and 600 g.[3] Landlocked eels have been reported to grow to 3 metres (10 feet).[2] DistributionThe long-finned eel is a native of New Guinea, eastern Australia (including Tasmania), Lord Howe Island, and New Caledonia.[1] It can be found in many freshwater areas, including creeks, streams, rivers, swamps, dams, lagoons, and lakes although generally more often in rivers than lakes.[2] Breeding and migration{{Empty section|date=July 2010}}References1. ^1 2 {{cite book | title = Freshwater Fishes of Australia | first1 = G.R. | last1 = Allen | first2 = S.H. | last2 = Midgley | first3 = M. | last3 = Allen | year = 2002 | publisher = Western Australian Museum | location = Perth, Western Australia | page = 64 | isbn = 0-7307-5486-3}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book | title = Australian Freshwater Fishes, Biology and Management | first1 = J.R. | last1 = Merrick | first2 = G.E. | last2 = Schmida | year = 1984 | publisher = Author | location = Sydney | pages = 61–63 | isbn = 0-9591908-0-5}} 3. ^{{cite book |title = Freshwater Fishes of South-Eastern Australia (Rev Ed) |editor = Robert McDowall |year = 1996 |publisher = Reed Books |location = Sydney |pages = 42–43 |isbn = 0-86622-936-1}}
