Migratory species, which breeds in the ocean (Ref. 52331). Inhabits both quiet and fast flowing water (Ref. 13337). Elvers ascend rivers mainly at night and overcome waterfalls and walls of dams with great determination. Adults usually sedentary. Females can attain 120 cm SL and are generally longer and heavier than males (Ref. 48660). Carnivorous, eats dead or living prey but especially fish and crabs. After feeding in fresh water for ten years or more, adults assume a silver breeding dress, the eyes become enlarged and they return to sea to breed. Considered to breed east of Madagascar, but thought to move south of that island on its way to the Mozambique coast and South African rivers (Ref. 13337). Flesh fatty but highly esteemed as smoked or jellied eel (Ref. 5214). Caught with various types of nets (Ref. 4967).
迴游種, 在海洋中繁殖.(參考文獻 52331) 棲息於安靜與快速的流動水。 (參考文獻 13337) 鰻苗主要地在晚上上溯到河而且用大的決心克服瀑布與水壩的牆壁。 成魚通常定棲的。 雌性能達到 120 公分 SL 而且通常比雄性更長與重。 (參考文獻 48660) 肉食性, 吃死或活的獵物但是尤其魚與螃蟹。 在覓食於淡水十年或十年以上之後, 成魚呈現一件銀色的繁殖服裝,眼變成增大,而且他們返回大海繁殖。 被認為是繁殖馬達加斯加東方, 但是認為移動那一個島南方在它的方法到莫三比克海岸與南非河.(參考文獻 13337) 肉脂肪的但是深受喜愛的當煙燻或凝成膠狀的鰻魚.(參考文獻 5214) 用各種不同類型的網捕獲了。 (參考文獻 4967)
