jegulja

femininefishIPA: / jeɡuʎa /
Definition and meaning

Zmijolika riba, izgleda veoma neobično, a od ostalih riba se razlikuje po mresnoj migraciji, dugoj 5.000 km.
Pripada familiji angvilida u kojoj ima oko pedesetak vrsta. Evropska jegulja (Anguilla Anguilla), rasprostranjena je najviše u rekama atlantskog i sredozemnog sliva i nešto manje crnomorskog. Bočna linija je izražena i vrlo lepo se vidi. Usta su velika, na vilicama hrapavi zubići. Ima grudna peraja, a leđno, repno i podanalno su spojeni u celinu. Naraste
do dva metra i može da bude teška do tri kilograma, ali takvi primerci su zaista retkost.
Jegulja je noćna grabljivica, a dan obično provodi u zaklonu. Dok je mala, hrani se faunom dna, a odrasla gotovo isključivo ribom. Koža je gola, a redukovana sitna krljušt urasla u nju. Leđa su joj braonkasta, a trbuh žućkast.
