I'm Caroline Durif, and I work at the Institute of Marine Research in Norway.

But I grew up in France and studied eels in France.

And I'm interested in fish migration, especially my favorite fish.

That's eels and not electric eels.

Those are very different.

And my weirdest voyage was when I was traveling with my family in Myanmar.

And I lost my family and was trying to catch up with them and asked a kid.

We were in a village, and I asked a kid along the side of the road if he had seen a sort of European-looking family.

And he took me to his home and showed me his family, which was very sweet.

Very awkward.

They're completely different species, families.

So they have nothing to do, actually, with the anguillid eels, which is what we're going to talk about.

And those are also called freshwater eels.

And they live in both habitats, so in freshwater and saltwater.

Whereas electric eels, it's actually not really an eel.

Yeah, so you would think the maximum of the smallest eels, which is the maximum length, would be one meter.

I mean, because the smallest would be the juveniles.

So it's sort of hard.

The smallest one.
