Previous studies indicated that a tropical freshwater eel Anguilla bicolor bicolor occurs in Africa, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia and Australia, but an intensive survey has indicated an extended distribution range for the species into Peninsular Malaysia. Thus, A. b. bicolor is a native subspecies of Malaysia.
先前的研究表明,一种热带淡水鳗 Anguilla bicolor bicolor 分布于非洲、印度、斯里兰卡、孟加拉国、缅甸、印度尼西亚和澳大利亚,但一项密集调查表明,该物种在马来西亚半岛的分布范围更广。因此,A. b. bicolor 是马来西亚的本地亚种。
