	<dc:description>Live in freshwater areas as adults, estuaries and seas as young (Ref. 12693).  Found in lowland rivers as well as upland tributaries (Ref. 2847).  While in river, the sex gland does not develop. But in winter when they move from the stream to river mouth, the sex gland begins to develop as mature individuals go to deep sea to breed (Ref. 45563).  The spawning grounds are deep sea gullies among the south of the Philippines, east of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (Ref. 45563).  Are active at night, feeding on a wide range of prey (Ref. 7248, 79840), especially crabs, frogs and fish (Ref. 7248).  Thought to breed east of Madagascar where the young are wafted to the East Coast by ocean currents (Ref. 13337, 79840).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Diagnosis: Distinguished from all other species by the mottled colour and the long dorsal fin, which begins closer to the gill opening than to the anus (Ref. 9828).Description: Typical eel form with dorsal fin origin nearer to gill slit than to anus, distance from dorsal fin to anal 16-19% of total length (Ref. 52193). Head rounded; snout depressed; lower jaw protruded; gill openings small; maxillary toothbands with distinct longitudinal groove (Ref. 45563, 52193). Pectoral fin rounded; pelvic fin absent (Ref. 45563). Scales matted-like under skin (Ref. 45563).Colouration: Adults have a brownish to black marbling on their back on a greyish yellow background; this colouration can fade away; white belly; younger specimens are greyish to orange and the marbling is less visible (Ref. 48622). Body colour brown speckles scattered on back, sides and fins; yellow between speckles and edge of pectoral fin; belly white or pale blue (Ref. 45563).</dc:description>

	<dc:description>Catadromous; lives in inland waters such as river mouths, marshes, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. Inhabits deep rocky pools (Ref. 7248). It hides in holes and stone crevices in daylight.  Found in lowland rivers as well as upland tributaries (Ref. 2847).  While in rivers, the sex gland of the fish does not develop and in winter it follows streams to river mouths where the sex gland begins to develop and afterwards it goes to deep sea to breed (Ref. 45563).  Active at night, feeding on a wide range of prey (Ref. 7248).  Feeds on fishes, shrimps, crabs and carcass of large animals fallen into the water (Refs. 7248, 45563) and frogs (Ref. 7248).</dc:description>
