Anago
is the Japanese word for salt-water eels, normally referring to ma-anago (''Conger myriaster''). Ma-anago are used for a seafood dish in Japan. They are often simmered (sushi) or deep-fried (tempura), compared to unagi (freshwater eels) which are usually barbecued with a sauce (kabayaki). Anago is also slightly less rich and oily than unagi. Anago has a very soft texture and sweet taste.

Unagi
is the Japanese word for freshwater eel, particularly the Japanese eel, . Unagi is a common ingredient in Japanese cooking, often as ''kabayaki''. It is not to be confused with saltwater eel, which is known as ''anago'' in Japanese. In Japanese cuisine Unagi is served as part of ''unadon'' (sometimes spelled ''unagidon'', especially in menus in Japanese restaurants in Western countries), a '' donburi'' dish with sliced eel served on a bed of rice. A kind of sweet biscuit called ''unagi pie'' made with powdered unagi also exists. Unagi is high in protein, vitamin A, and calcium. Specialist unagi restaurants are common in Japan, and commonly have signs showing the word ''unagi'' with hiragana う (transliterated ''u''), which is the first letter of the word ''unagi''. Lake Hamana in Hamamatsu city, Shizuoka prefecture is considered to be the home of the highest quality unagi; as a result, the lake is surrounded by many small restaurants specializing in various unagi dish ...

Gorgasia Japonica
''Gorgasia'' is one of the two genera that belong to the subfamily ''Heterocongrinae'' (common name: garden eels). This genus is classified by the behavioral pattern of burrowing 75% of their bodies in the sandy substrate they live in and protruding their upper body into the water current above, giving the appearance that they are planted into the ground (origin of common name). This protruding behavior serves a multipurpose functionality to their survival. The first function serves as a method of collection of their prey. Most members of this genus prey on zooplankton floating in the passing current, while some species (i.e. '' G. hawaiiensis'') will prey on small fish eggs. The second function of the burrowing behavior allows for avoidance of predation. Whenever in the presence of a predator, most commonly the Pacific Snake Eel '' Ophicthus triserialis'', garden eels will retreat back into their burrows and hide. Similarly, during the night hours (non-light hours) when zooplankt ...
