Abstract

Asian swamp eel, Monopterusalbus belongs to the family synbranchidae of the order synbranchiformes [1]. The Asian swamp eel is commonly found in paddy field and it is native to the tropical and subtropical areas of northern India and Burma to China, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and possibly northeastern Australia [2]. The swamp eel can live in holes without water with the help of their respiratory organs. Some fishery scientists say that they pass their summer in the hole, but sometimes coming out from the hole to take oxygen. Most swamp eels are nocturnal species and often spend their daytime hiding under stones and mud or having a burrowing habit [3].
