The term 'snakelike fish' refers to a group of fish that have long, slender bodies and are found in both fresh and salt water. The most common examples of this type of fish are eels, eels, morays, and seaeels. Eels are elongated fish with smooth skin and no scales, while eels are similar but have a thicker body and more scales. Morays are a type of EEL that can be found in tropical and subtropical waters, and seaeels are a type of EEL that live in the open ocean. All of these fish have a snakelike appearance and are often referred to as such.
