Curiosity of the nature, the New Zealand longfin eel is the largest freshwater eel in the world. It can reach nearly 2 meters in length, weigh 20 kg and live more than 100 years.

A dream for fisherman, become a good commercial bargain and an ecological nightmare. Fished intensively since the 1960s to be sold in sushi or dog food on markets in Europe, United States or Japan. The giant eel, in the old days, thrived in the lakes and rivers of New Zealand, is on the brink of extinction. Less popular than the kiwi, the icon of the endemic animals of these islands, the eel is not without protection.
