Fish that may have only vestigial fins

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eel

(Other definitions for eel that I've seen before include "Creature like conger or moray" , "Moray or electric, for instance" , "Elongated fish" , "Serpentine fish" , "Electric swimmer, perhaps?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
