The Heterenchelyidae or mud eels are a small family of eels native to the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and eastern Pacific.
Heterenchelyids are bottom-dwelling fish adapted to burrowing into soft mud.[1] They have large mouths and no pectoral fins , and range from 32 to 149 cm (13 to 59 in ) in length. Currently, eight species in two genera are recognized in this family.
The oldest known member of the family is Pythonichthys arkansasensis , known from fossilized otoliths from the Maastrichtian and Danian of the south-central United States.[2] [3]
