The grey conger (Conger esculentus), also known as the Antillean conger or simply the conger eel,[2] is an eel in the family Congridae (conger/garden eels).[3] It was described by Felipe Poey in 1861.[4] It is a tropical and subtropical, marine eel which is known from the western central Atlantic Ocean, including Cuba, Jamaica, and throughout northern South America. It dwells at a depth range of 120–400 metres, and leads a benthic lifestyle, inhabiting coral reefs and rocky regions. Males can reach a maximum total length of 160 centimetres, but more commonly reach a TL of 90 centimetres.[3]
The grey conger feeds predominantly on finfish.[5] It supports a minor commercial food fish fishery, it can be consumed fresh or can be salted.[3]
