The morphology of the pectoral girdle and fin of Anguillidae is reconsidered via the inclusion of skeletal components that have previously been unassessed. For example, the pectoral girdle and fin in Anguilla were erroneously reported to lack a scapular bone, a cartilaginous scapulocoracoid plate and a cartilaginous propterygium. The pectoral morphology of Anguilla is also compared with the closely related genus Nemichthys, including additional data on the anatomy of this eel family.
通过纳入先前未评估的骨骼成分，重新审视了鳗鲡科肩带和鳍的形态。例如，曾有错误报道称鳗鲡的肩带和鳍缺少肩胛骨、软骨性肩胛喙突板和软骨性前鳍软骨。还将鳗鲡的胸鳍形态与近缘属线鳗属进行了比较，包括有关该鳗科解剖结构的更多数据。
