👉 Bathypontiidae are a family of small, planktonic animals that include several genera and species, including the common eel (Eeliolepis) and the giant eel (Eeliolepis longimanus). These animals are typically found in marine environments, such as estuaries and coastal waters. Their habitat is usually low-oxygen or oxygen-poor areas with a high concentration of nutrient-rich dissolved organic matter.
