Anguila eléctrica es una de las veinticuatro especies de este atlas. No es un catálogo: trata evolución, anatomía, conducta, cultura, iconos, conservación y área como un solo sistema.
Las puntuaciones comparan velocidad, inteligencia, área, resiliencia, impacto cultural y rol ecológico. Son juicios editoriales relativos, no un ranking de laboratorio.
Siete capítulos profundizan: orígenes, cuerpo y sentidos, vida y conducta, cultura, iconos, presión de conservación y el área que se comparte con la gente.
Introducción profunda
Deep dive: Anguila eléctrica
Anguila eléctrica is not a single postcard animal. It is a set of populations, subspecies and human rules inside the fish family of this atlas.
Diversidad, cuerpos, cultura y áreas — más una lente de esta región lingüística.
Diversity inside the type
Field guides collapse many lineages into the English word Anguila eléctrica. Subspecies, flyways and captive lines do not share one fate -- bald eagles and Philippine eagles, or western and mountain gorillas, are the caution.
This atlas picks a Wikipedia title as the hero image and then keeps the rest of the grade in view so a recovered stock cannot launder a CR cousin.
Life in the landscape
An elongated knifefish with a long anal fin and three electric organs of stacked electrocytes. True eels they are not; the battery is the point of the body.
Night hunting of fish and invertebrates. High-voltage volleys are metabolically expensive; weak pulses map the murk more cheaply.
Culture and meaning
English-language culture met the Anguila eléctrica through film, law, heraldry and zoos. Those portrayals move money and sometimes take; they are not a field census.
The culture chapter dates posters and statutes so a 1975 film or a 1961 logo cannot pretend to be a 2020s Red List.
Conservation and money
Electrophorus electricus is Least Concern on a basin scale; local drought, dams and the pet trade are the finer risks.
Tourism, conflict payments, quotas and captive loans are dated economic bands in the market chapter -- not live prices and not a best-species prize.

Biology deep dive: Anguila eléctrica
Anguila eléctrica biology is a stack of structure, energy, sensing and hard limits. The four sections below are the same headings used across the atlas so types can be compared without a best-species frame.
Anatomía, sentidos, conducta y límites — más el lenguaje de campo de esta región.
Structure
An elongated knifefish with a long anal fin and three electric organs of stacked electrocytes. True eels they are not; the battery is the point of the body.
Load paths and tissues (not metals) are expanded in the anatomy chapter.
Energy and foraging
Night hunting of fish and invertebrates. High-voltage volleys are metabolically expensive; weak pulses map the murk more cheaply.
The how-it-works diagrams reduce that budget to a six-node loop.
Senses and control
Active electrolocation plus the same organ used as a club. Eyes are secondary in tannin water.
Control here means the animal steering itself -- not a vehicle ECU.
Limits
Air-breathing helps a stagnant pool; a dam and a drought do not care about voltage. LC is a range statement.
Resilience scores encode those limits relative to the other 23 types.
Four other atlas types, six terms, three threads and three local notes -- a map out of the Anguila eléctrica page without leaving the 24-id taxonomy.

Términos clave
Electrocyte
Disc-like cell stacked in series -- the battery plate of the electric organ.
Electrophorus voltai
2019 species -- the high-voltage record holder, named for Volta.
Humboldt 1800
Alexander von Humboldt account of horses driven into eels -- a travel-science set piece.
Sachs and Hunter organs
Anatomical names for the main and accessory electric organs.
EOL
Electric organ discharge -- pulse trains for hunt, defence and (weaker) electrolocation.
Gymnotiform
Neotropical knifefishes; the eel is a knifefish that grew a battery, not a true eel.
Habitat and movement
Where the Anguila eléctrica breeds and feeds is the first constraint. Single lakes, islands and forests appear again in the history timeline.
Range scores in this atlas mark how widely that movement runs -- albatross and blue whale high, koi and panda low -- not a quality ranking.
Research and law
Named projects (Project Tiger, ACAP, ICCAT, Amboseli) are the English-language bureaucracy of the type.
Listings and downlists are dated events in the timeline, not eternal essences.
Culture and price
Film, auction and logo years are filed under culture and market so they cannot masquerade as demography.
The icons chapter keeps eight real Wikipedia titles so a later language pack can attach the same faces.
