Usually this eel eats small, slow fishes and shrimp, but its large mouth permits a varied diet. The gulper eel can unhinge its enormous jaws and stretch its stomach to consume a fish as big as itself. The gulper eel has teeth, but another species, the umbrellamouth gulper eel, lacks teeth.</p><img height="1" alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="275"/><br/></td><td width="15"><img alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="15"/><br/> </td></tr></tbody></table><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><table class="viewsTable" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#c6cbbc" colspan="2"><img alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="1"/></td></tr><tr class="viewsTableEvenCell" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; PADDING-TOP: 4px;"><td class="rowHeader" valign="top" width="34%"><font size="4">Diet</font></td><td class="evenRowText" width="62%"><font size="4">crustaceans, fishes </font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#c6cbbc" colspan="2"><font size="4"><img alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="1"/></font></td></tr><tr class="viewsTableOddCell" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; PADDING-TOP: 4px;"><td class="rowHeader" valign="top" width="34%"><font size="4">Size</font></td><td class="oddRowText" width="62%"><font size="4">to 6 feet (1.8 m) long </font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#c6cbbc" colspan="2"><font size="4"><img alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="1"/></font></td></tr><tr class="viewsTableEvenCell" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; PADDING-TOP: 4px;"><td class="rowHeader" valign="top" width="34%"><font size="4">Range</font></td><td class="evenRowText" width="62%"><font size="4">to 6,500 feet (1,198 m) or more </font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#c6cbbc" colspan="2"><font size="4"><img alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="1"/></font></td></tr><tr class="viewsTableOddCell" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; PADDING-TOP: 4px;"><td class="rowHeader" valign="top" width="34%"><font size="4">Relatives</font></td><td class="oddRowText" width="62%"><font size="4">there are several species of gulper eel </font></td></tr><tr><td bgcolor="#c6cbbc" colspan="2"><font size="4"><img alt="" src="http://www.mbayaq.org/images/shared/spacer.gif" width="1"/></font></td></tr><tr class="viewsTableEvenCell" style="PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; PADDING-TOP: 4px;"><td class="rowHeader" valign="top" width="34%"><font size="4">Conservation Notes</font></td><td class="evenRowText" width="62%"><font size="4">Anything that finds its way into the ocean, whether it's tossed away as trash, washes off a beach or falls off a boat, may eventually make its way to the deep sea.
