Eels or true eels are an order of fish with many sub-orders, families, genera and species. Electric eels and spiny eels are not the members of true eels despite their similarly shaped bodies. Freshwater eels and marine eels are the most popular food items in Japanese, Korean and Chinese cuisines especially in Cantonese and Shanghai cuisines. European eels and many other freshwater eels are also famous in Europe and the United States.

Eels have an elongated body and their length ranges from 5cm to 3.75 meters depending upon the species. Eels do not have pelvic fins and in many species even pectoral fins are absent. Their dorsal and anal fins are fused with the caudal fins or tail fins. Most of the eels live in shallow waters or hide at the bottom layers of the ocean. They dwell in holes, called as eel pits. Some of the species are active swimmers and live at a depth of more than 500 meters. While feeding, eels drift along the water surface and eat dissolved nutrients.

Cisco is a salmonid (family of ray-finned fish) fish. They differ from other members of the genus by having upper and lower jaws of approximately equal length. Five endemic species of Laurentian Great Lakes are thought to be of very recent evolution. Cisco species have recently been subjected to lots of research that is being carried out to determine the relationships among the species that have evolved recently.

Ciscoes are extensively explored in commercial fisheries especially in the Laurentian Great Lakes, where deep water forms are considered as the basis of chub fishery. Chub fishery was exclusively based on the various species of Ciscoes. The fishery continues even when the stocks of Ciscoes are falling and other species are spreading through the system. At many places, Cisco species have declined in great numbers. Some of the breeders believe that Ciscoes represent  an incipient species flock. Lots of debates have taken place to  ascertain which were the true species and which were not, particularly due to the facts that some of the species have become extinct.
