Possible Improvements

This article could be improved by talking about the general life cycle of the eels. In addition it might be more advantageous to talk about migration patterns of this family of eels. Several more updated pictures could be added to this site along with more broken up specialized descriptions. Eyster.18 (talk) 19:02, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Christa Eyster[reply]

Move back to Anguilla (genus)

Shouldn't this be "Anguilla (genus)" as, since Anguillidae is, according to the article, a monotypic family, Wikipedia guidelines strongly recommends moving it to the lowermost taxon (i.e., at the genus level)? Or, split into two separate pages, since there are extinct genera in Anguillidae.--Mr Fink (talk) 05:34, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If we accept that the extinct genus Anguillidarum is both valid and a member of the family Anguillidae, then the family is not monotypic. As it appears now to be polytypic, the bulk of this article should be moved to Anguilla (genus), and a new family article written, or at least a stub to mention the two genera.

Anguilla authority?

The ICZN's Opinion 1672 (1992),^[1] put "Anguilla Schrank, 1798" on the Official List of Generic Names in Biology. However Welter-Schultes & Klug (2009) argue that the rediscovery of de Garsault's 1764 book shows he should be the authority, and that the Official List should be corrected.^[2] Others have followed in having Garsault, 1764 be the authority including Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes, but I wasn't able to find out if the Plenary Powers have officially emended the Official List -- does anyone know if there's been an official Opinion relating to this?
