Spawning grounds of this species are presumed to be in the western Mariana Islands, at a salinity front near 15°N and 140°E (Ref. 54488 ). Most expensive food fish in Japan. Introduced elsewhere. Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ?   range ? - ? cm Max length : 150 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 9828 ); common length : 40.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 35840 ); max. published weight: 1.9 kg (Ref. 82795 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics Vertebrae : 114 - 118. Plain-colored. Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Spawning occurs in the sea; small eels ascend the rivers in schools; develop and grow in freshwater. The species may crawl over land at night from one place to another (Ref. 5258 , 11230 ). Adults feed on crustaceans, insects and fish (Ref. 5258 ). Maximum weight given (1889 g) has a maximum length of 100.8 cm TL in Ref. 82795. Utilized fresh, smoked, canned and frozen; eaten steamed, broiled and baked (Ref. 9988 ).
