Lake eels are a species of fish that are native to North America. They are found in lakes and rivers in Canada and the United States. Lake eels are long, slender fish with a dark brown or black body. They have a sharp, pointed snout and large eyes.
Lake eels are an important part of the aquatic ecosystem. They feed on small fish, insects, and other invertebrates. They are also a food source for larger fish, birds, and mammals.
In recent years, lake eel populations have been declining in many parts of North America. This decline is likely due to a number of factors, including habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing.
Dr. Mandrak's research project will help to identify the factors that are causing lake eel populations to decline. This information will be used to develop conservation strategies to protect this important species.
