ThE FacT FactorY on Instagram: "The leptocephalus is the transparent, ribbon-like larval stage of eels and some other fish, such as tarpons and bonefish. In eels, especially species like the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) and American eel (Anguilla rostrata), the leptocephalus stage occurs after hatching and can last several months to over a year. These larvae are flat, leaf-shaped, nearly invisible in the water due to their clarity. #EngageAndInspire #InteractiveContent #ConnectToConvert #Eng
