How much electricity does an electric eel generate?
The average discharge is more than 350 volts, but discharges as high as 650 volts have been measured. Voltage increase until the eel is about three feet long, after which only amperage increases. Some South American eels measure 10 feet in length. What are moray eels and where are they found? Moray eels belong to a family of fish which differs from the common eels by their lack of side fins, their well-developed teeth, and their lack of scales. Common eels have embedded scales, but these are not readily noticeable. Morays occur in tropical and subtropical seas of the world. In the United States. they are usually found in quantity only in Florida waters, although they have been seen as far north as North Carolina and even New Jersey. Little is known of their breeding habits except that the young pass through a stage which is very thin, ribbonlike, and transparent. Morays feed largely on other fish caught as they work their way through coral reefs. Some morays are equipped with teeth in
