Congridae (Teleostei: Anguilliformes) family species of distributing in the Turkish seas

The species of the Congridae family belonging to the Anguilliformes order are known as Mıgrı, and are morphologically similar to the eels which are among the species of the Anguillidae family. In both family species, the dorsal and anal fins are combined with the caudal fin. It is easily distinguished from eel species by the appearance of dorsal fin rays at a closer level to the head. There are 195 species belonging to 30 genus distributed in the world seas belonging tothe Congridae family.A third genus of 3 species (Conger conger, Ariosoma balearicum, Gnathophis mystax) shows the distribution of Turkish seas. While the first two species have distrubuted only Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean seas, C. conger shows the distribution of all our seas. In this review, where morphological and biological characteristics of european conger are distributed in our country, all studies carried out both in our country and abroad are examined in detail and presented together. With this compilation study, especially biological information about species is missing in our country and attention has been made to contribute to the literature.
