The state of Indiana is home to 208 species [1] of fishes that inhabit its rivers, lakes, and streams that make up five watersheds.Indiana is the state with the most fish species of any state [2] north of the Ohio River and includes Great Lakes species.
Temperate eels migrate on average for approximately 6–10 months, while tropical eels undergo shorter migrations between approximately 3–5 months on average. [23] The European eel ( A. anguillidae ) has one of the longest migrations of all freshwater eels, migrating up to 6000 km (over 3700 miles) in a single migration loop.

An Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica) with its beak full of sand eels (Ammodytes tobianus) Sand eel or sandeel is the common name used for a considerable number of species of fish. While they are not true eels, they are eel-like in their appearance and can grow up to 30 cm (12 in) in length. [1]
Adults superficially resemble eels in that they have scaleless, [19] elongated bodies, with the largest species, the sea lamprey having a maximum body length of around 1.2 metres (3.9 ft). [6] Lacking paired fins , [ 20 ] adult lampreys have one nostril atop the head [ 21 ] and seven gill pores on each side of the head.
Pelican eels are smaller-sized eels. They grow to about 0.75 m (2.5 ft) in length, though lengths of 1 m (3 ft 3 in) are plausible. [10] Like most eels, E. pelecanoides lacks pelvic fins and scales. Otherwise, the pelican eel is very different in appearance from typical eels.
Cusk eels are not true eels. Unlike true eels, they have forked ventral fins: organs attached to the pectoral muscles just below the mouth. They do however, like eels, have an attenuate body and tend to have mouths in the terminal position with cardiform teeth. [2] Though fairly small, the band cusk-eel has a complicated skeletal system.
