The Australian long-finned eel, also known as the speckled longfin eel, lives in freshwater rivers and lakes across Australia and New Zealand. After many years, adult eels make a long one-way journey to the Coral Sea near New Caledonia to spawn🐍 Their larvae, called leptocephalus, drift back toward the coast on ocean currents. As they get closer to land, they change into juveniles also known as Glass Eels, that swim upstream to freshwater, where they grow and mature 🌊 #irukandji #canchangethew
